My thoughts are very much in tune with yours, or so I think, MoonWillow.
I like most of all the stretching barrier giving way to the marble-like structure of peace and harmony breaking through. The placement of each is very complimentary to the composition and the abstract quality.
There is a somewhat shooting-star effect propelling the center object that adds a nice dimensional effect.
Somewhat subdued colors that take on a luminous glow with the effect you've managed provides striking contrast and picks up well from the more stable appearing object in the background and then mirrors the same colors in a pleasing and vibrant swirl effect.
Effective balance with the darkness that seems to accent the attractive colors and provide a meaningful context for them.
Very difficult for me to describe without getting so abstract - I hope you can pick up on some of the illusive qualities I like and that I'm trying to identify and convey.
There is a meaningfulness within the impact of the image that I find very attractive and am having such trouble describing.
But the creativity in story telling and the strong desire to express your convictions is very much felt.

This is quite a review, ZenTrip. Who better to look to regarding the troubles in the world today than the young people trying to grow up amid the turmoil. I really enjoyed reading your comments, and beautifully said. Thank you very much, ZT!

This is a great thought for Peace and Harmony. Lots of colors all seem to be working together to create Peace and Harmony. The troubles of the world are all creating big gapes and need to find a way of adding Peace and Harmony to their list of things to do every day but as you well know thats not an easy thing to do with all the Heads bumping together trying to get their own way. Peace n Love Bingo!

this is a pretty unique piece... I like it.. I like your description of how the world's turmoil is searching for peace and harmony... I only wish maybe you put in some warm colors to help represent the turmoil and troubles... but all in all, it is a great symbolic piece.

I thought the brownish red there would be enough, but maybe I could brighten it a little. Thank you so much for the tip and review, JJ.

I see one world trying to fit back together amongst the chaos. The other world I see rolling along trying to keep together. The net like area seems like a safety net keeping us from completely going out of control. Good colors and impact. Liked this a lot.

A fascinating view, I clicked on it the second it hit my screen.I like the shiny surface texture and the stretching mesh that's trying to contain the orb is quite brilliant. Good symbolism in making the forward one more luminous their the other; having 2 suggests relative progress has been/can be made.

Thank you, Judy. I just edited the description, so don't know if you had a chance to read the updated version or not. Your thoughts on this are right on though. Thank a million!!
