Description: This piece is a metaphor for the unspoken, underlying pressure or tension or circumstances that exist between people that live together on a daily basis. The substrate of homelife is filled with positive, negative and ambivalent energies that are often there but unspoken. When these underlying forces are on the rise, flashpoints occur, creating outward conflicts or frustration that appear out of proportion to the issue because they are connected to something deeper.
