Waking up

You are the universe experiencing itself. Everything outside you is a projection of what is within you. And art, is putting a mirror in front of you. Recreating physically what's already a reflection. It's an outlet. A vent. A spiritual orgasm that comes when we create visuals instead of consuming them.
Everything around you is a result of humans cooperating on a scale no other species can even fathom. But the skill you possess is not any superior to that of a caveman. 7 billion people believing in fictional entities like money, religion and limited liability corporations makes our modern lifestyle possible.
But art is independent of social boundaries. It can be a tool for radical self- expression, a stage for bohemian ideas, and an escape from the mundane.
The consumerist society enslaves the mind, forces it to perform so below its capabilities. We don't even realise what we're capable of and this is unfair.
It is time to detox from our screens, to stop pretending to be someone you're not and embrace the beauty of the world, outside your comfort zones , free from the illusion of order and security. We need to unlock our minds, set them free and we'll attain satiety to this hunger we try so desperately to overcome.
The only way out, is in.

Analgesia

Happy memories are our analgesic. We are so addicted to creating good memories that we forget to live them. We put capturing memories above experiencing them.  Memories are our escape mechanism for the mediocrity we tolerate everyday.  Someone free from the gravity of what's considered normal  doesn't need validation, doesn't feel anxious. They can stay in the present. Live the moment without thinking of the memory. One becomes free from attachment, devoid of desire, and closer to nirvana.
