It started as one thing, it turned into another, added a few things, and it's now what you see here.

I've been trying to get constructive feedback on three other sites, or to see if it was good in the eyes of others.

(I didn't think that I need to say this but so many people don't "get" abstract art)
PLEASE don't comment if I need to explain this picture to you. If you smart enough, you will understand that this picture isn't supposed to be understood.

Sigh...
It means it's abstract and it doesn't have a real meaning.
It's just that alot of people ask "what is it?", so I wanted to clarify some things

What's the point of artwork if no one understands it? What do we gain from our non-comprehension if we cannot comprehend it?

What we earn of understanding of such artwork, is realizing that we do not find the answer consciously, but rather in our subconscious mind. Only this way, will one understand that there is no unified meaning to the picture, but rather we all interpret it in our own way varying by our personality. Only if you comprehend this concept can we all "understand" abstract art.
