This fine art self-portrait captures the moment of dissolving the false self.

In front of the mirror, there is no longer a “me”—only the presence of light.

This image speaks of awakening beyond identity, when the layers fall away and the essence shines through.

A visual meditation on truth and transcendence.

This self-portrait reflects the realization of the infinite within. Influenced by Michael Talbot’s "The Holographic Universe," the image portrays me gazing into the mirror, where the universe itself seems to unfold. This visual metaphor emphasizes the boundless nature of self, suggesting that within each of us lies the vastness of the cosmos.

West winds are bringing the surf up. As of 2:00, it's running Waist to Rib & Building. GET OUT THERE!!!

Waist to Chest this morning. Still going to build

This fine art self-portrait marks the moment of union—when observer and observed dissolve into one.

Facing the mirror, I no longer search for a reflection.

I become the mirror itself.

The image expresses the non-duality of being, the realization that there is no separation.
