Yo!
So you see the lil guy up there? I'd like to introduce you to him. That's my "Emoji of Introspection" (feel free to help me give him a nickname)!
Familiar with the term? The Oxford Dictionary defines introspection as follows:
in·tro·spec·tion
ˌintrəˈspekSH(ə)n/
noun
"The examination or observation of one's own mental & emotional processes."
It must've been an evening in the late summer of 2013... I found myself in deep turmoil; intoxicated with drugs, up for 30+ hrs., having difficulty breathing, & thinking that I would remain damaged forever. Face to face with myself in the mirror, I vowed to begin loving myself. The big, open eyes represent the deep gaze I fixed upon myself, venturing further and further inward into the reality of my being.
I was ready for self-change. I was committed to observing my mental & emotional processes, & learning how to rewrite my own miseries. It has been a slow & gradual process — one that I am still working on — but from that moment forward, I started to implement better lifestyle habits; remaining mindful of the things I voluntarily spend my time on & learning to ease away from the things I do not truly enjoy.
This "Emoji of Introspection" that you see above manifested itself in my artwork, during a college course I was taking on Printmaking. Since it's inception, it has made its mark as an iconic part of my brand. It is a constant reminder to myself, as well as all of you who are welcomed members of my community, my tribe — CONTINUE LOOKING INWARD.
See the lil guy's first motion-picture debut as put together by the talented videographer Jared Liverpool, in my Animated Video for "Wavy"!
Nicely played ! You even had a mug made?! Wavy rocks. Keep the inspiration coming!
I have a line... trees are only guilty of introspection and gifting love in every direction <3!
