Above It
(click image to enlarge)
John Swartwout

The title reflects the title of the song, which inspired the formation of the piece. Above it is a song created by musician Trent Reznor. The song projects the impervious nature of the character in the song, as well as, the folly of isolation. As I was working on this piece during a national lockdown the song kept coming back again and again.
