I think that an individual has the right to exist for his own benefit and should not be forced to live for the sake of others. That integrity and rationality are the standards of action, and productivity and creativity are the goals of a rational man. It seems strange to hear an artist speak of rationality. No, emotions are the by-product of a decision or action, at least in my case. They are never the cause.
Art can produce an emotional response in the observer, however.
Let's switch gears. Even the title seems unlike your previous works. Actually, this piece was originally commissioned by an aerospace firm, and I arranged to maintain copyright usage and published it a few months ago. I researched this piece quite a bit, visiting the FAA Tech Center in Ocean City, New Jersey, for information on fluid dynamics, vortex generation, etc. Tell me about your latest work on the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
