Consciousness

“The limits of my language are the limits of my world”

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus logigo-philosphicus, 1922.

Consciousness is a theme I have been exploring in my work for years, and it serves the purpose of expanding the limits of my world through pictures.

I love reading philosophical and scientific books on consciousness by important thinkers like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Anil Seth, Philip Goff, Sara Imari Walker and Rupert Sheldrake, to name a few. Their work has inspired me to think deeply about the mystery of consciousness, how it came to be, and its meaning.

It’s not an easy task to make art that describes, in some way, what consciousness is. I’m pretty sure it can’t be done, but I try anyway. My approach is to develop a visual language that has broad explanatory potential, one that can incorporate both new and old ideas from science, philosophy, and spirituality.
