An Artist Explores Consciousness represents an early phase of inquiry in which questions of identity, perception, and interconnectedness were explored through painting, sculpture, and text. Rather than presenting conclusions, the work functioned as an open investigation into how awareness shifts between habitual and reflective states. This project established conceptual ground that continues to inform later work focused on attention, embodiment, and relational experience.
