When You Think About It, Why Do We Do Anything?by Daniel Angeles
Seriously! It sometimes hurts my brain when I think about Purposes, Purposes for anything and everything, actions, existence, life, heat, gravity or whatever. I always end on the same thought. There is none, or at least none that our minds can comprehend. We just live to die and leave either a Bank Account, or Debts to be paid for the next, and they don’t learn and do the same when its their turn to come, its inevitable. One day I hope to not believe this and either not care “Why?”, or find another answer that I can believe, or at least pretend to beleive. But my mind does not behave itself, It fixates on what I don’t want to think about, Death, War, Hate, Love, Sickness, health, Space, God, Human Nature, creation, Obliteration……….
If you try to imagine your Existence a decade before your birth, and I mean really try, Where are you in this time? If your mind starts to hurt, you are probably feeling what I feel when I think about this.
seriously… this is an ingenious self portrait, daniel… i’ve gone through that wondering and questioning stages once upon a time…. appreciate today, what you have, and yourself, and strive for more beautiful tomorrow… and magic will find you one day… again, this is an amazing piece…
Its funny, I had the general idea in mind of changing the shadow, but then i got frustrated and looked at my hands, as I do. And It hit me. And Here’s the result. I do appreciate today, More then you can imagine. I am amazed at everything and I do love everything, and i guess its because of this that I can’t stop thinking about these ‘Questions’. Its a tough thing to properly explain without sitting down for like a couple of hours….. And Thanks Mimi, Its always good to hear when you like my work.

I worked today with my father and his brother. No money. Heavy labour. I told them that when I do this I have no energy left to create art…..I do not not know if I have a valid point, because I do not have the energy to spare to think.
You do in the short term, meaning this lifetime, but not in the long term. Thats just a fools opinion though. Art is very important though, I don’t know why in the slightest and it makes no sense but that doesn’t make it not true, after all Life exists, and what sense is that?
I was going to comment on this pic last night but couldn’t. Your question is too hard. " Why do we do anything" its a really interesting question, like a Haiku.
A lovely piece of work Daniel.
Its a powerful question, thats for sure. we’ll probably never get an answer but its still interesting to wonder why? Thanks Andy.
