(thesis)
We articulate ourselves through short extracts from reality. Crucial to this thesis is research on Self-design, specifically impersonating oneself and yet functioning as a person. This action might be only possible through the removal of one’s own narcissistic Ego. The primitive effort to find balance in simple animal beings, through which one seeks answers, for me this means undesigning my Self.
Through this act, one can come back to one’s body, which behaves animally, physiologically, or mechanically in all aspects. With what animal does one identify when one removes the parts of Self that are affected by social impact? The search for harmony of the Self is therefore to be inclusive, otherwise it becomes a mere destruction of culture.
