I really love how you use a lack of form and what appears to be random shapes to show the ultimate human failure to achieve perfection. Or at least that's my interpretation.

I guess i should really talk more about my pieces...

Well, thats some of it. I wasnt thinking perfection, because i dont think the human race is perfect, nor is this piece. But it does have dto do with failure, harsh edges and darkness(hence the black and red) against light(the white in this picture) and in a sense, the black is taking over the white, getting worse and worse, darker and darker.
