Empathogens No. 3 Painting

EMPATHOGEN SERIES This collection of work recognizes that technology is increasingly a mediation layer for reality. Technology is "maldesigned" to program our minds towards addiction, and as a result corrupt our somatic experience. Today, it is Darwinian to be aware of and master our consciousness. Technology, like everything else, is a tool, and we choose to use it for limitation or growth. Stand in front of the work, close your eyes, take a deep breath in, hold your breath for a moment, then release, and open your eyes. Awaken yourself to color as a grounding, sensory experience. Feel your body relax into the color. Your default mode network is activating --- let it melt away. Get lost in it as it triggers your endocannabinoid system with pleasure. You are humanity. Enter your empathogenesis. We are all WOMBKIND — born from the incubation of nurturing, love, and compassion. Somewhere, we loose this primal nature along the way. It is time to reconnect.
