Well, after realizing the effect I used in my last wallpaper was endlessly overused in this contest, I decided to take my thoughts in a different route.

One of the themes for the freespire contest was "community". Well when it comes to an online sense of community, it feels a great deal less literal. When I think of a digital community I always picture these huge masses of wires. The very wires that connect us all.

So I played around with a few ideas, and decided "well, wires themselves aren't all that exciting to look at". Then I thought well, what about the electricity running through them?

So this piece signifies millions of little light beams, acting as a source and a means of connection.

Enjoy!
