“I am conscious of myself and become myself only while revealing myself for another, through another, and with the help of another…”

~Bakhtin

An evolution of the “Self”.

In my own journey of becoming a self aware subject, I look into the works of 20th century Russian literary theorist, Mikhail Bakhtin. Bakhtin’s theory on self realization through the use of a another is key to giving meaning to ourselves and our art. As I produce my duality self identifying images, I have gotten to know myself better. Through playing multiple roles of myself, I can explore the meaning of this quote.

 

It is the Spectators that Make the Pictures
In The Same Silence
Subject To Interpretation
Existing On My Own Terms
Time is an Illusion
He Who Overcomes Himself is Mighty
What I seem and What I Am
Awakening of the Self
Waiting For My Arrival
The Quiet Sense of Something Lost
In Each of Us There Is Another
Not My Cup of Tea
