Concluding a work period of a year in China investigating Shamanism and other esoteric traditions.

A self portrait of the psyche, its inner worlds and striving for balance. A zen garden, masks and a balancing act. Welcome inside my personal and archetypical mind. The power of self knowledge and self transformation.

Psychonaut- (from the Greek ψυχή (psychē "soul/spirit/mind") and ναύτης (naútēs "sailor/navigator") – a navigator of the soul. Psychonautics is the exploration of the psyche by means of techniques such as meditation, prayer, lucid dreaming, sensory deprivation, and the use of hallucinogenics or entheogens. It rests on the realization that to study consciousness is to transform it. A psychonaut is one who seeks to investigate their psyche using intentionally induced altered states of consciousness for creative, spiritual or research purposes.
