In my attempt to understand the world I find myself facing problems that I have no understanding of whatsoever.
It has become clear to me that some things are better left as they are, because trying to understand them
would be a waste of time, and time itself is so precious that I better keep it for better use.
These past weeks have been an interesting time in which I have learned and tried so many new things.
Conceptual thinking, emotional challenges. It feels good
to be more ahead and knowing, but in a way I miss the bliss of the oblivion.
Last week I made a self-portrait, in 3d, in which I tried to show the different layers of my soul, of my being.
I tried to explain in my work how I felt at that time, but also how that related to my general personality. I realized
how hard that is. We all think we know ourselves, we even kid ourselves in believing we know others, but as Nietzsche suggested, what do we really know?
