Medium:

Charcoal on Paper

Dimensions:

18 x 24 inches

Description:

Objectively, this is a loosely rendered, vertically oriented rectangle with unevern edges.


Conceptually, however, this box represents a contemplative moment, attempting to articulate "Who I am".


Ultimately, I finally had to come to terms with the fact that "Who I am" is not something I can truthfully proclaim; because it is not our beliefs, intentions, or the words we use to describe ourselves that define us.


Instead, we are only defined by our actions, behavior, and the words we use to contribute something more than ourselves that leave impressions in those we encounter (and where the truth of our character is empirically evidenced).


Philosophically then, everyone I know... and everyone I will ever meet (or encounter) will have varying experiences and opinions of me. And... I am all of those things... all at once (whether I like or agree with the conclusions... or not).


After all, I am at least honest enough with myself to understand that "who I want to be" is not what I always express. But, I am working to get there.
