Reconnected strives to challenge an individual’s concept of perception and provokes a viewer to reconsider the complexity in that which seems mundane, The work suggests an alternate attitude towards what they consider to be inconsequential and triggers a realization of the infinite potential that can be found in anything, if only they were to take another look. Enticing a newfound understanding of that which has been undervalued, the viewer begins to appreciate the notion that something, or possibly someone, is much greater than the limitations society has characterized them by.
