Self Portrait

Inspired by the song 'lateralus' by the band Tool.

Expanding consciousness and breaking free from mental constraints are some of the themes I love about Tool's songs.

"Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind". We can become disconnected. I like to think of stoicism and how it teaches “you have power over your mind, not outside events”. If we can be fully present in our bodies we can experience the reality of the world around us much clearer.
