I am told that these areas of abstraction have much to do with the sometimes illustrative, sometimes freely rendered representational aquariums, scenes, wildlife and imaginative settings. Well, that has to do with your level of sophistication. It's not for me to say. I'm not sure whether I'm being goofed on. It has to do with the state of mind you are put in when you can't figure out whether someone is pulling your leg.
Every artist wants that.
Artists make what they make for a reason. Tharsing's work can always be appreciated for the Socratic viewpoint in it. It's meant to make you question the way you look at art in general. The innocuous subject matter here is a trip switch, and any conclusions you come to are short-circuited. Yes, it's a made-up vision but a calculated one.
