This project is very personal. It shows a certain road, a path through my feelings, ideas and ponderings. I am a young man, and therefore I feel that it would be inappropriate to treat it as a mature reflection. It is rather a presentation of the thought that has accompanied me from the moment I came back from Norway, although my stay in Oslo wasn’t the impulse behind it, and I have only embarked upon this project after a period of time.
In the beginning, there was only chaos. Both in my mind and in the project. My thoughts were slowly directed, and I needed time to find my aim. A direction that I could follow, and at the same time one that I would like to follow.
There are only two things that really matter in my life: the people I care about, that I can trust; and the aim, the reason for me to develop.
So far, women have been behind all these reasons.
The project follows the road that I traveled in the autumn of 2008. Broken, hesitant, with nothing to hold on to, I started the journey in search of peace and harmony. I often found it in the simplest of things, in everyday life. On other occasions I missed it, unable to understand the sense of my own proceedings.
At last, there appeared something that spurred me into action. That gave me the strength to become better, stronger, more sensible, perhaps it even allowed me to gain new wisdom. I have finally believed that I have the reason, something to live for.
And that is exactly what Reconstructing My Mind Project shows.
