I was given the opportunity to live in Nepal for a month the summer before my senior year in high school. I was confronted everywhere by monks meditating, and this continuously caused me to ask "why do monks meditate so much?" .They do nothing for a living. I later came to the understanding that when you think of nothing, you become everything. When I came to understand this while in Nepal, I had a paradigm shift and my artistic eye started "seeing" more novelty in the world around me. When I create art, my motto is "feel more think less feel more think less feel more think less." My understanding is that if you don't think for long enough, eventually your source will become more of who you are - it replaces the constructed ego constructed of many layers of neuro-nets within the brain. The ego is not who we are, it is who we have created! The existence within us, the universal force that monks tune into while pondering "nothing" by trying not to try hard enough. The work I created in Nepal was created in a meditative state of mind. I learned how to turn off my reactive mind. I realized that in order to do something, you just have to do it! All the rest is optional layering to the task at hand. I didn't think, and I captured what I felt. I do the same every now - feeling my way around everywhere.
