Statement - What Lies in Slumber.

Yesterday, I completed a very simple, but deep piece. It is one that I feel like explaining, so here is the statement for What Lies in Slumber.

It is about the ability to tap into the subconscious. Freud believed that most humans only tap into about ten percent of their total consciousness. He explained this with the analogy of the iceberg. When one approaches a massive iceberg in the open water, only the tip is observed by the personality, while in reality the majority of the iceberg sits below the surface of the water. The part hidden below is like the subconscious. It is unharnessed and we are unaware of its consequences, but to awaken that part of you grants incredible, authentic power.

I used the imagery of the iceberg to conjure this composition. The ninety-percent sleeps below the surface, while the visible ten-percent creates waves that resonate outwards. As our subconscious becomes consciousness, our true selves rise from the depths, creating broader, more consequential vibrations--generally more positive and from a place of wisdom.
