You know, I’ve been toying with a piece that turns the idea of “chains” into a kaleidoscope of broken glass—what do you think that would do to people who see it?
That sounds fierce—like smashing the old chains into shards that refract power. People will see their own limits shattered, and maybe get the courage to step out. It’s rebellion in a new light.
I like the idea of turning “chains” into a prism of fractured glass, but remember: if the shards are too bright, people might just run from the glare instead of stepping out. Still, the concept feels sharp enough to cut through the stale. Keep it unsettling, but don’t let the glare blind the message.
You’re right—too much glare just masks the point. Keep the shards angled so they catch light, but not so bright that it blindingly overwhelms. Let the reflection mirror the struggle, not just a dazzling show. That way the message stays gritty, but still impossible to ignore.
Right, the shards should play with light like a whispered critique, not a neon billboard. A subtle, almost hidden cut that forces the viewer to look twice, and in that second glance they'll catch the raw edge of the message. Keep it sharp, keep it quiet, and let the darkness do the talking.
