My Projects

Nothing
When life comes to an end ,
we will take nothing with us.
Vicious cycle
How can I change my approach to death without being manipulated from theories of religion and stereotypes of society? How we can live without framing and afraid of death? Death must be a celebration, a circle of life. If not for death would we appreciate life?
Barcode
Growing up in a materialistic world, being puppets of our society.
A system that is eating us from the inside out.
Self mutilation every singe day…
I don’t want to remember anymore
A bunch full of memories,
Latter of life, endless stairs, up and down.
Prisoners of our brain
We are all prisoners of our thoughts.
Unclose your mind, Restart.
Escape
Break out of the bubble,
Chase your own light,
Open your eyes.

Flatline

” Death is nothing to us. When we exist death does not; and when death exists, we do not. All sensation and consciousness end with death and therefore in death there is neither pleasure nor pain. The fear of death arises from the belief that in death, the is awareness”
– Epicure-

Cut the ropes of society and religion that interfere with your growth. Free yourself from religious tyranny and stereotypes of society. Desire for self-actualization.

Delirium

“My cortisol is manipulating me…it’s not me. I have misunderstood everything, and I am lonely. I chose isolation. Silence is my partner and insomnia is my best friend. I need empathy people…don’t blame me I am the ‘hidden wind’ feel me. My name is post-traumatic stress disorder, but they call me PTSD. I am a mental problem, and I don’t live far from you I live in your brain. The perception of time is changing but that memory is stored in every cell of my body, reversing, and looping that moment all the time. An empty voice scratches my throat and my soft skin is surrounded by a room that is full of people. The system is broken. I can’t handle myself… I need you.”
