The story inside Between Selves
I imagined two versions of the self trying to pull each other closer. One stands in the world, tied to a tree, grounded in a body and a place. The other appears inside a framed space, like an inner image, a projected self, or a mirror that never becomes fully clear. I placed the cloud and the globe between them because I wanted that gap to feel crowded by life itself. Jacques Lacan wrote that our sense of self begins through an image, and from that beginning a distance remains between what we are and what we think we are. That idea stayed with me here. The river below moves like time, carrying everything forward while the struggle to meet oneself continues.
