Letting the viewer into the sub-conscience areas of my mind and discovering an inner question hidden inside themself. The eyes convey judgment and prejudice from outer sources to my own self-criticism. Fingerprints symbolize always being watched, always being judged, and being cautious of each step I must take. Black, white, and red are reflective of the raw yet powerful emotions that lurk within my mind. I intentionally chose the message in kanji to translate to “I am going out of my mind.” This is to represent the process of exiting my mind to see the world around me from a different perspective.
