Arrested Expansion or Cardiac Arrest

George Grie

Arrested Expansion or Cardiac Arrest

Arrested Expansion is a symbolic scene that depicts a combination of self-excluding objects that might not be present in real life. Objects in the secluded room make the viewer feel claustrophobic and unreal, which might be compared to someone’s mental delusion based on a medical condition. Image is a mixture of photo stock with some 2D vectors, and 3D objects. Photoshop, 3ds max, Illustrator.
The most common cause of cardiac arrest is a heart rhythm disorder or arrhythmia called ventricular fibrillation (VF). The heart has a built-in electrical system. When a contraction happens, blood is pumped. But in ventricular fibrillation, the electrical signals that control the pumping of the heart suddenly become rapid and chaotic. As a result, the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles, begin to quiver (fibrillate) instead of contract, and they can no longer pump blood from the heart to the rest of the body. If blood cannot flow to the brain, it becomes starved of oxygen, and the person loses consciousness in seconds.

    this work is beautiful but so eerie and creepy like. it reminds me of those weird dreams i have when you wonder what they meant. that “hint” of hauntingness that hangs with you a day or two. i like how you have the air balloon just about to bump into the ceiling, the way the water and mist creeps up on you and the huge empty eerie cold room. i like trying to figure out what the artist is trying to convey to the viewer. so far….i have no idea. lol. great work anyway.
