There is always a hormonal hurricane inside trying to overpower us defining our actions and reactions. Sometimes we can control them, other times we allow them to drive us. We drown deep and deep into the sea of emotions, still find it difficult to express. With the expanding world and the human need of making connections, we have billions of choices every day. Some seeming impractical, we need to choose based on the ground we stand on. As they say, grass is greener where we water it. This project celebrates the emotional discomfort of life while we are constantly fighting against ourself trying to achieve the equilibrium (which almost feels like a myth).
​
Let’s finally revisit our emotions once again. Let’s introspect with our mind wide-open. Let’s try to achieve the almost impossible equilibrium before we submerge in the ocean of illusion and to understand how our body feels when its breathing.
We are a forest of fire. Fire spreading through our nerves making us shiver and tremble every time we try feeling it. The adrenaline rush we get while experiencing the shiver, sometimes become the utmost goal. The fire is still burning, burning us inside and giving us pain as we try to hide it. Still we won’t let go of it. Probably the only reason we can not let go or even crave for more because once it brought the best in us. We fear to show this hidden side. This side has the potential to show the true us. Do we ever question ourself or do we ever make an effort to understand it?
Do we ever feel the hunger and crave for things we consider toxic? Do we ever feel like grasping, shaking, sweating and manifesting the physical lust? This sudden urge of infatuation, instant gratification as well as the desire of enjoying passion, pain, power, possession and determination signals to consider the dark, dirty and uncontrollable us. We find pleasure in pain though they are on the opposite verge. We hate it when the walls which are keeping us sane, crumble and fall. It feels like a loosing game but we do not want to try. We like it insane. We risk the safe zone, we get thrilled, electrified and shaken just by the sense of it. This diplomatic side has a lot to tell. It goes beyond our thoughts, giving the strength to push ourself to the fullest. All we need is to embrace the flaws.

There are storms and shinning sun both residing simultaneously yet this world functions effectively. We ourselves have a mini universe inside with different opinions, unexpected events and numerous emotions shaping our perspective, beliefs and actions accordingly. Along with the discomfort lies calmness. There are days when we do not crave for more but we are more than satisfied. The fire giving us the pleasurable pain, settles down for a bit and let us value whatever and whoever we have. We focus on building emotional and empathic relations and trust. We enjoy resting. We decide to float with the stream and allow things to reminisce us with the good memories. This side does not fight with the inner us but act as a corridor connecting it to the outer world reality. We enjoy the sense of security and stability.
​
Life becomes tougher and accepting both sides is the only way to exhaust the possibilities. One side helps to explore and the other helps to grow. Encouraging us to focus on everything we are and everything we can be, we flaunt both faces gracefully.
