Into the Abyss
Stone Lithography

'Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.'
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Personal traumatic experience is a monster that I fight, which seems to stare back at me in emptiness. Nietzsche’s notion of the abyss, however, suggests to me that to live with trauma is to accept it. Some live on with scars, and some fall into the abyss. Nietzsche’s abyss questions if eternal existence is non-existence, is death, is nothingness?

Lost in Time is a self-portrait reflects the notion of stillness in the chaos of time passing.
'The human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.'
-Ocean Vuong
