What does it mean to be human? Human life can be interpreted and defined in numerous ways. It is simply a matter of opinion.
As I was creating my “definition of humanity” montage I decided to use more earthy colors to represent the connection between human life and nature. A large part of what it means to be human is to have the ingenuity to take what resources the earth supplies and to use them for survival. The thought process that goes into the way in which we create things from and destroy things in our natural environment is a piece of human identity.
Furthermore, all humans are driven forward by DESIRE and are held back by the FEAR that we may never be good enough, that we will never have worth, that we will never get what we DESIRE in life. A wonderful part of being human is that we have physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual DESIREs yet unfortunately with being human comes that hindering FEAR that keeps us from acquiring what we want most in life.
As we go through life, chasing our dreams and being blockaded by uncertainty we learn things about ourselves that change the courses that we are on and the things that we pursue. With each tweak to our goals and lifestyles we add another layer to our life, whether it’s a new lesson learned, a new relationship started, the loss of a loved one, or a career change. The four layers in the center represent these changes, because although we have added or adjusted things to our life it is not replacing what we experienced in the past it is simply adding to it. To be human means to be able to adapt to these changes and accept the past for what it is.
These are the things that make up the human existence and define who we are.
