about

According to many neurological studies, the human brain resides in a permanent state of planning and problem solving; in the absence of problems and tasks, humans start searching for them unconsciously, which increases the level of anxiety due to the rising uncertainty. If we add to this phenomenon our modern societal forces and obstacles, such as information overload, global crises, sociocultural pressures applied through cults of consumerism and success, then it’s fair to say that we’re going through possibly the worst period in human history in terms of mental health and life satisfaction.

But what if we remove the human condition from a constant influence of the systems in which we are forced to exist and separate self-identification from the culture?

How is life really felt here and now, if you remove all the negative factors, created by the human civilization, and override the need to plan your future in the ever-changing and threatening present?
