Ego is generally associated with pride or vanity, but it is in fact the perception we have of ourselves in our personal reality. Everyone has an ego, with their own illusions and hard truths with which they live. I wanted to create a work that would symbolize all the changes that our ego undergoes in our lives. The many ruptures and breakthroughs we are going through and the various changes we are going through in order to protect or rebuild the way we see ourselves.
"Every time I climb, I am followed by a dog called 'Ego'." - Friedrich Nietzsche
