"Existence is a performance learned. People shape to their theatrics in order to survive. Those who play the game, save themselves. Those who don't, die. See, in cohesion with the human world, you have to accept the regression into a new face. The vessel of you is made to adapt to and it is born into a new soul. In creation, It is the emblem of your world."
To me, language is a form of costume. It wraps the thoughts within our minds into a symbolic sound or image. The issue with language however, it is only a representation of our thoughts to be interpreted by others. The words we speak only exist to be interpreted by others and therefore becomes a barrier to which we understand and see others in the world.
​
My costume is a sort of mask that depicts a large central symbol, surrounded by a circle of smaller symbols. To me, I see these symbols as meaningful, to others however, the language fails. A one ended communication that represents myself, my viewpoint, my personhood.
​
The mask defines the importance of conforming to a world against "the one", you, and become a person of performance, who ficticiously acts out the way the world wants and replace the lived person beneath.
The mask is a frail facade, a protective skin that is cheap to the soul.
