Since the theme of the exhibition is Now Here’s My Darkside I did this as my explanation of the saying in the Bible: As within, so without.

I believe, everything that happens in this world is a reflection of our inner thoughts, the path our mind takes which we react to…so if we don’t learn to control the ego mind and allow it to take control over our better reasoning by the use of evil thoughts then they are reflected to the without…the world in which we live, therefore making the evils of this world surface. And vice a versa…with good thoughts. I believe we all control this world and its outcome by what we allow to reflect from the within to the without.
