Resistance

“The more important a call or action to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.” -

Steven Pressfield “The War of Art”.

Newton’s 3rd law of physics says: “To every action, there is always opposed an equal reaction”. Often we feel this very concrete law of physics in our psychological struggles. Every attempt to grow, to do something new, to learn, and to develop will inevitably face some kind of reaction. Something be it our environment, family, or circumstances, but most often our own beliefs and self-talk don’t allow us to make our next steps and attempts to block growth. Resistance is therefore a conflict between one part of your personality and the other - not the conflict between you and the outside world.

This force, this Resistance can come in any shape or form: indecision, negative self-talk, procrastination, conflicts, fear, doubt, self-sabotage, shame, guilt. The project attempts to show in a metaphorical way all those types of things that can block our creativity and growth. My hope is that every person, facing resistance of some kind realizes that, in the end, the resistance it’s not real and can be blown away like a piece of paper when you know exactly why you need the growth and why you want to create.
