Born on the Way Down

The babies, in this piece, represent the whole of humanity. . .captured at any given moment during their inevitable descent from birth to death. . .during life's journey, some of us will choose to live life for ourselves, experiencing as much as possible, and finding the importance of individuality and self. While most others, undergoing the very same voyage, will choose the safer route. . .doing and trying only the things they are told to, never fully becoming aware of their own individual self. . .followers and leaders. . .creators and observers. . .thinkers and robots.
