I love this project so much. The color, the warmth and comfort of it. The intimacy of making it with so few people involved and so much care put in. It’s really just photos and doodles and writings, but this one pushed me to see my surroundings differently.

There are a lot of narcissistic photos of me, sure. But it was the first time I felt confidently independent while making something. I had complete trust in myself that I would make this the right way.

These projects are just artistic forms of journal entries, ways to process or summarize where I was in life at the time. I remember being heavily inspired by Eckhart Tolle for this one. The separation of ego so you don’t become it. Not identifying with the thoughts in your head because they are not you. Thoughts are fleeting, sometimes false and harmful or misleading, creating a tug of war between your true being and your ego.

The yeti in the photos is the ego. The enlightened mushroom guy is the reborn realization that comes from the death of the ego.
