The primal call: whispers from the Id
Mixed Media Acrylic On canvas, 24 x 48 Inch
This piece explores the multifaceted nature of the human self, drawing inspiration from the depths of our primal urges and the ever-present yearning for something greater.
The lush tropical environment symbolizes the raw, instinctive desires that reside within us – the “Id” as described by Sigmund Freud. The woman stands amidst this vibrant landscape, representing the individual navigating the complexities of their being.
Each frame showcases a spoken word excerpt, acting as a window into the different aspects of the self.
- Lower Frame: This represents the “Primal Call,” the whispers of the Id. It embodies our basic needs, desires, and the instinctual drives that fuel our actions.
- Middle Frame: Represents the “Middle Self,” our rational thinking, decision-making abilities, and the pursuit of goals. It acts as the bridge between our primal urges and societal expectations.
- Upper Frame: This is the “Higher Self,” symbolized by her gaze directed upwards. It represents our aspirations, connection to something greater, and the striving for personal growth and fulfillment.
The subject’s posture and the direction of her gaze depict the ongoing dialogue between the different aspects of the self. She embodies the journey of self-discovery, constantly seeking a balance between our inherent desires, the voice of reason, and the pursuit of a deeper purpose.
