September 28, 2006: Personifying Strength

The idea to draw out my thoughts like this was one that took a long time to coalesce into a real project. I wondered if drawing out different sides of myself in this way would be misleading; after all, the "dragon" and "vulture" parts of me are just that--me--they aren't separate and they certainly don't have such concrete, out-of-body conversations with me. But I do often go into my own head and seek out those mindsets to see what they have to say, and I finally came to the conclusion that portraying them as separate beings was the best way to convey the thoughts I have in them, as them.
