And All That Could Have Been
And All That Could Have Been explores the choices and consequences in my life path within our current political society. As a Libra and a Behavior Analyst I weigh options and think in terms of contingencies. Because of this I believe I am where I am supposed to be at this moment. Still, I wonder. Had the social constructs that resulted in my feeling of being less than not exist, would I have been able to live differently in the place where I was born? Had I not made the decisions to pursue a life of community service in an urban environment, what might I be contributing? Had I been more typical, might I be less obsessive and controlling in my daily behavior and relationships?
This body of work allows me to explore another world where my choices result in an alternative life path in the solitude and shelter of nature. By immersing myself within the earth and surrounded by untraversable landscapes I can imagine my protection and escape from the politicization and demands of contemporary existence. Inside these landscapes I can discover a magic that transcends my daily experiences and is a place where I become physically and mentally still.
