The Eye and the Mountain
Revisits the project’s central symbol to locate the sought-after guide within the seeker. The external eye and mountain reveal a self made phantom by looking outward for recognition and direction.
The self
I was trying to find
Was a phantom created
By observing outside myself.
When the observer recognizes himself,
There is nothing more to observe.
No more fragmentation.
No more suffering.
No more striving.
No more story.
There's only
Movement
Of life
Itself
.
