Neo is a piece with a lot of layers. The fox has a poison dart frog on its tongue, contemplating whether to consume it or not. I see the frog in a couple of ways. The red and blue represent American politics and the piece reflects on our consumption of it and the resulting poison we ingest. I also see the frog like the red pill and the blue pill from the Matrix, hence the title "Neo", the protagonist from the film. Red pill showing you reality, blue pill showing you the simulation. Sometimes I think I would prefer to be plugged into the Matrix and escape the overwhelming world we live in. But then again, maybe we are in the matrix. There's also the Kudzu vines that surround the fox. These vines are known to be fast growing that cover and choke the things it grows on and represent the threats of the piece. The fox is clever, so the outcome of this piece isn't cut and dry.
