"All Fired Up (to find True Self)"
This week's collaboration muse, originally shared by @everlove, made me think of all the individual thoughts that make up the weeds of our mind, the weeds of the Self...and how a weed to one person is a valuable life force to another, and how the mind is able to have so many elements working together at once toward a larger goal.
I took the image and crafted it to reflect these thoughts. The weeds and the tree making up the centermost of man's mind, while many people/worlds/universes exist within us, often expressing counter and contradictory opinions while we are seeking to find our Truest Self.
Perception is key. Perception is everything. Perception makes the difference.
The original image was digitally manipulated by rearranging, superimposing the additional tree, and layering the profile portraits using exclusively my iPhone 6+ and the accompanying apps Adobe Lightroom and Fused.
I highly recommend, if you haven't already, checking out the Collaborative Art Journey creative play series with @everlove. It is truly a great example of what this community can be.
