FACES

These are representations of physical and mental sensations I have felt throughout my life.

These sensations are what define who I am and how I interact with the world around me.

Marina Me

When I think of the ocean, I see that it is both beautifully smooth and terribly powerful. This I how I feel sometimes.

Skin Me

Sometimes I feel like the skin is a limit and a barrier between me and the world. This model represents my skin as a capsule and a shell.

Overwhelmed Me

I overthink too much sometimes, and in these occasions I feel like my brain takes up so much energy that it actually physically enlarges.

Invisible Me

Although I feel invisible sometimes, I never feel like I stop observing my surroundings.

Muted Me

I am the type of person who would rather not say anything instead of hurting someone with things that I say.

Off Mode Me

There are times where I have seen myself in uncomfortable situations where I learned to shut down my senses in order to prevent emotional distress.

Blocked Me

There are many moments in my life where I feel many emotions trapped in my throat.  Often times, this prevents me from verbally communicating well with the world.

Divided Me

This model is about the physical division that I sometimes feel between the right side and the left side of my body.

Opposites Me

I often feel like there is an internal conflict inside me, where the two different sides cannot come to an agreement.

Meditative Me

This is the sense of expansion I feel when meditating.

Energy Me

I am energy. We all are. I choose the Sun as my source of energy.

Transcendental Me

I think a lot about my purpose in life, not so much at a productive level but at a spiritual one. (The texture of this model is a painting by Alex Grey.)

Animal Me

Above all, I am an animal, and this is the most important thing to remember. I often forget my body has limits and that as a living being, my health is a crucial aspect of my life.

Physical Me

This model represents my physical self, in a virtual world.
