Subject of the work is "INGRAINED"
Meaning of INGRAINED is 'deeply embedded and thus difficult to remove'.
INGRAINED has two perspective, one is positive (do not change our self until external situation calm down), and negative (you can't see the situation as it is, because you have conclusion about everything (deeply accept something which is incorrect)) , and have fear about what happen if my conclusion turns to be wrong ? which cause ego and ultimately to prove your point end up with war ). This work represent the root cause of negative aspect of it. i will post one more for positive aspect as well.
This art work gives the idea of what happen when we ingrained in wrong conclusion and root solution of this situation.
When we don't know something, we will confuse. To overcome this confusion, we normally believe something. Because believe makes you confident, now you can share something. The problem will come when this assumed idea become false.
If we observe carefully, The root cause of this situation is to be in our own comfort we do not seek clarity and assumed up something. Instead of being confuse about what it is, we accept ready-made solution without checking it's authenticity. After this we hope our accepted thought are correct. But now we so much deep inside it, that we can not hear any thing against it.
To describe this situation: (to be ingrained by limited idea about situation) a Tyre mark, describe the path we have completed in our journey, and in this limited journey we think that the information and knowledge we gathered is every thing. This is described by less-saturated color in the area of tyre-print.
The root cause of not accept that we still don't know everything is "we identify our self by data that we gathered till now", the only way to resolve this situation is "identify our self with what we still don't know ". No matter how much data you have accumulate, it is minuscule part of the whole existence, so instead of identify our self with limited information that we know, we need to identify our self with what we don't know. This is the main cause of ego, if we identify our self with what we know then it will sure harm us, but if we identify our self with what we don't know, ego weaken up. To overcome this dangerous INGRAINED trap of confidence about what i am doing is the only correct way, we need to take rest and re-build clarity about situation. to represent that in this piece, reality is represent as charm, full of color and complete in the upper portion of the piece.
