self

blinded by mere conceitedness
5x7 in, mixed media, 2008

i believe that everything that's happening is brought up by the totality of the self:

on what we think, what we believe, our own actions, the environment/community we raised and grew with, the poeple around us, etc.

it's like there is this concept of natural relationship (to another being, to inanimate objects, and/or even to the abstract idea of emotions - the universe) that comprise us all. thus self, pertaining to the coninuous exploration of the wholeness (not completeness) of the being, is not selfish.

as to what most people consider. relating to the general idea of it being subjective and personal.
