Interestingly enough you did not post on your portfolio the first image that I saw on your link for this essay. I don't miss it since these are the most powerful ones.
They are highly introspective. Each one formulates another question and asks for some explanation. I do not associate any with the title you gave your essay but this is a minor thing. You asked yourself a few important things and you only will generate an answer.
I feel like you will need to elaborate more on each image, to continue each thread, each idea. I look forward to it.
My favorites are the least "abstract" pictures where I can recognize your unique way of looking and processing: this picture, #2 the little bear and #3 that could be titled "who are we, where are we going…."
You continuously strive for more ways in your photography and I salute you for this.

Great thought provoking image. A little too infocus and on a known subject to really be an abstract.

I like the emotion here, but for me, this is not an abstract.

A Blue Jay just visited my feeder and winked.

Love the shot, lots of mood to it. It certainly conveys the title. I can't quite see this as an abstract, though.

Excellent troubleshooting for this shot. Often times, when in the middle of the shoot, we all don't think so creatively when met with unforeseen obstacles, such as enough model flexibility to meet the vision in your head. Your stroke of brilliance is a sign of an experienced photographer, for sure.

"hopefully we can get back to a day where we pick issues instead of sides. And the cynicism will be a thing of the past."

One could only hope, Wendy.

And congrats on the HM. Your lighting is growing by leaps and bounds. You'll be the master in no time at all. Great rubbing elbows with you :)
