#10 Squeezed

This piece is about individual liberties and home rule, vs 'Big Brother's' government control. It is specifically about the island of Martha's Vineyard and the compromise that is taking place with the wind turbines that are going to be placed around the island. Each end of the drift wood has concentric circles that represent individual liberties and island autonomy. The feathered wings on both sides are the obstructed views, caused by the whirling blades, and the large wire turbine on the top is government imposed renewable energy. All told there will probably be 130 turbines off the north shore of the island and 160 off the south shore.
