I first started exploring the idea of 'The Great Awakening' through the creation of this self portait which I created during the early days of the first lockdown in 2020. It is an exploration of how I felt trapped at the time, unable to travel or even leave the house. Until I finally realised the power of going inward. Of opening my mind's eye and letting my imagination wander.

This is also my first digital artwork that carries a spoken word recital of a poem that I wrote at the time of creating this.

Here's a transcript of the poem:

The Awakening

If you can’t go outside, Go inside. That’s what they should have said. Go deep. Meditate. There’s a third eye Somewhere on your forehead. It’s a door, A portal to places you’ve never been before. Go in. Go out. Go. Explore.

Something changed at the beginning of the year 2020, as we entered what astrologers call the "Age of Aquarius". Heralding in a new phase of humanity... One in which the prevailing fear & greed driven, "I", "me', "my" mindset started giving way to a more abundant one, focused on community, harmony & healing. The global pandemic was a mere catalyst for this. An opportunity for us as individuals to take the time to slow down, introspect, heal & seek purpose. To find that the answers we once seeked externally, were within us all along. The old regime kept centralised control, by using fear as their weapon. But change is underway. Communities are coming together like never before.. the Black Lives Movement; the Indian farmer protest (history's single largest human rights protest); the LGBTQ & women's rights movement in Turkey & worldwide; in the global mass resignations the NY Times called the "YOLO economy". & most of all in this beautiful decentralised creator economy we're part of.
