My work has to do with disempowering fear.



‘AFRAID TO BE HAPPY’

*Time, Journey & Romance
*Innocence in the company of power.
*Video games and saving the world/ the heroic journey


AFRAID (inside/psychological) // SUBCONSCIOUS


TO BE (liminal) // DREAMS


HAPPY (outside/ observational) // CONSCIOUS





1) FEAR (perceived threat to self)
* Jealousy/envy --> effigy/ power in images
* Obsession/ co-dependency --> Tales From The Crypt
* Failure --> compulsive work ethic



2) DREAMS (Guidance)
* Past Lives --> responsibility
* Subconscious --> symbolic universe
* ?



3) ADVENTURE (life as journey)
* Video Games --> saving the world/ hero impulse
* Mythology --> common narratives
* History --> lessons of time/ value of memory & generations
* Travel --> expanding worldview/ increased empathy toward ‘other’
* Childishness --> freedom from social expectation/ allowed self-indulgence
