Me and Myself

from €780.00
Limit 1 per order

At the heart of Taoist philosophy lies the oneness in duality. Warm and cold or light and shadow depend on each other, and do not make sense on their own – they are one. There may be a part of us that seeks peace, and another part that is adventurous. These two coexist like day and night. When we’ve been peaceful for long enough, it’s only natural that we want to go on a little adventure. When we’ve been out and about, we soon start seeking peace. This is our inner dance – the harmony between two longings that exist side by side.

The artwork is produced on museum-quality Hahnemühle Bamboo FineArt Paper (290 gsm, 90% bamboo fibers, 10% cotton), signed and numbered on the front and on the back, embossed with an authenticity stamp, and comes with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity.

From my project “Me and Myself”:

All of us experience an inner dialogue. We have a mental image of ourselves that we are talking to almost every moment of our life, and about anything: hopes, troubles, Sunday shopping, memories from the past, and what the person standing next to us thinks about us. Every person’s identity is split into two part:s “me” and “myself”. The project is exploring the interactions of these two different sides of the same person and the idea of the duality of a human mind and self-discovery.

These parts don’t represent “good” and “evil” in the general sense of those words. Often, one of these parts is our inner critic, the punisher, the one that comes up with all the fears, excuses, and negative thoughts. This “me” can make us fail at anything since this voice will never be happy; it thrives on suffering, recreating it in our heads over and over again, often without any connection to a real-life situation we are in. It’s the job of the other part, “myself”, to recognize the negative delusion and turn it into healthy positive thoughts, thus bringing peace to our minds.
