Sustained by Illusions

Be vigilant of what, or who, you are sustained by. Our minds are quick to create facades, altering reality into a more perfect, Utopian, and surrealistic domain. Sometimes we may derive confidence from presumptions.

I would rather know the unpleasant truth than to indulge in sugar-coated lies. When the mirage through which you are motivated evaporates, what will keep you going? That which is unseen tends to be authentic, while material things are evanescent and often deceptive.

Ethereal Entity

One afternoon after school, I felt inspired to create a surrealistic image (I had been looking at surrealistic artwork prior to this photo being taken). I closed all of the blinds in my room, shut my door, and turned off all my lights. Now that I had my personal chamber of photographic exploration, I experimented with several different kinds of materials until I finally found the right one (wax paper). I took about 130 images, and this image attracted my attention  with its ethereal mood.
