Self Eat Self:relaxeder

Graphite and some scotch tape

When doing this drawing i was giving a lot of thought to "loving others as we love ourselves". that your concerns should be my concerns, your challenges my challenges, your joys my joys, your success my success... as if the world is one big "self". instead, though, the world seems to be defined in terms of me vs. you. conquering the "others"... being better than your neighbor, having more than your neighbor, being more right than your neighbor, killing your neighbor. this seems an ironic kind of social auto-cannibalism. by devouring and conquering others we only defeat ourselves.
