DREAMS OF FREEDOM.
I found one of my old selfies and played around with it to get some interesting compositions, I always save those selfies to work on later and find new ways to portray the world and my thoughts. Mostly when I compose my art, both photograpy and paintings, I don't have a "big theme of social justice or psychology" in mind. On the contrary, I only look for the interesting cinematic feel or composition. And always. without fail I end up with my inner thoughts that manifested into the work. It's very interesting for me personally - it puts words and clarity to my reality through the subconscious. The subconscious talks to me this way. And I always go: ...."aha...I see...great to know"...
My explanatory text as it was written to a contest I participated in here on FAA, called Genuin Freedom by Steve Henderson:
I call this experimental photography piece "Dreams of Freedom". I didn't have a descriptive text to it when I entered your contest but think I might add what I write here:
Freedom. It seems someone doesn't want us to be free. They seem like they are succeding, but that is only half of the truth. Your physical freedom might be taken away which will create fear and the sense of limited options. There is another level to freedom: It is a matter of perception. How can we feel free when the world seems to close down? It is then necessary to dive into the depths of ones inner world - because here is the real freedom. I personally always feel free. Because I am. No one can take my freedom away. They might think they have. But this can never happen. No matter what happens I will always be free. I am a free soul. This is my birth right no matter what another says or tries to trick me into believing. Such parasiting can never be long term successfull. It can only go on as long as there is a level of complience - not necessarily on a conscious level. The warrior must come forth, to fight for ones birth right - the physical freedom and in the fight realise the inner freedom that is always present. My photo represents that duality; The perception of limitations and the truth, the limitless eternal soul watching the duality playing out.

Hey I thought I saw this one . Funny how we go back to the ones we like, Alexandra! Keep up the great work! A Propos, " Your description has moments of Descartes Meditations, these dictyums we have all pondered I am sure as all thinking beings do. For example Meditation II "I am, I exist" is necessarily true every time it is uttered by me or conceived in my mind". Is this the Freedom you speak of, I think I interpret it so, it gives you allowance for all other external forces to be exempt as yo know you are Free. Perhaps I am wrong, sorry if I misunderstood, Always liked Philo and the concept of reality and "What is Freedom?"

Thanks Brian, I appreciate you took time to read my description! I've been contemplating life since the age of 13 and reading heavy philosophical work since age 15 so I can't answer it with a simple line. Freedom is many things and different to all beings depending of their understanding of who they are and what life is. It's also about their background. Two people with the seemingly same background, one may feel imprisoned and the other free. As long as we are being restricted in any way or not being able to fullfill our potential we are not free. It would take me hours to explain this piece because it's about my entire life and all my knowledge this far about this reality.

And to add: this was 2021 when Covid restricted the world and a big part of this piece is about that.
