Installation art piece I’m working on

What should I call it?
So far it scares people. The usual reaction is “what is this about!”

Perhaps it is a DIY version of "Knob & tube" household wiring...but it doesn't look old enough.

are the shadows part of the art? I hope so because my interpretation depends on them.

a literal look: you have "+" and "-" components, seemingly in a random nest composed of 2 connectors for - and 4 for each +. each network is composed of entirely + or -, no mixing. it appears there are no knots. overall, the actual structure is shown as a projection of 3 dimensional object into a 2 dimensional plane (fancy way of saying shadow).

so I would say it's a statement of mental health, specifically bipolar disorder (the plus and minus) formerly known as manic/depression. The connectors represent the diseeases rewiring of the brain. The shadows are societies lack of acceptance and understanding of people with mental health disorders. Seeing an objects shadow doesn't give the whole picture of the object - it needs enlightenment (literally and figuratively).

be cryptic and call it F31.

From chatbot: In the DSM-5, code F31 is used to diagnose Bipolar Disorder. DSM is Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.

And all of this matches your feedback

Scared and misunderstood are how most people's reaction to mental health disease.

hope that all makes sense.
 
Many years ago i made a speaker cable with solid core Neotech OCC copper using very similar wooden separators between the two wires. The separators did their best to prevent a short between the conductors and also acted as cable lifters. It scared people a little, but sadly the copper turned greenish after a while and began scaring me too.
