Cosmic Introspection
Why be born, dream, struggle, know self, transform, be distinct, die, reincarnate, master, and ascend? Am I a fragment of the One, exploring other fragments of the same? What will I be at the end of my existential adventure?

Artist statement
[/urls_to_images]
As I have explored existentialism from many points of view all of my life, and found myself to be a character in a cosmic novel given a hint of awareness that I am, as all others, an expression of The Great Author, learning not to be alone with his/her/itself.
We now question the purpose, and probable fulfillment to be had in our cosmic play.
There is at least beauty, humility and enlightenment in it all!About the artist
[my middle name is my artist name, pronounced phonetically “mu-arr-aei (‘i’ almost silent)”] This 'person' you've met is a geode with a crack in it, whose multifaceted inner world is only revealed when you shine a light into it. I keep growing - with symbience, assimilating more and more of the world. 'None' of you can really 'k-n-o-w' my soul until you come to know the world's secrets. I have been your meditation - your brother - your canary in the coal mine - your beast of burden - your critic - your white blood cell - your sage. Life-long, I’ve practiced many creative arts. Drawing complex geometric symmetry and sci-fi landscapes, arts & crafts with wood, metal, carving, competitive costume creation, digital (pc art and video game play maps), photography, videography, and some creative writing. Include original world design in table-top role-playing fantasy games. I photograph wild flora, fauna, landscapes & storms. I use nature / natural materials with trick photography to create surreal images. With generative AI symbiance, I create otherworldly, mythological & fantasy scenes & creatures. I started exploring & writing about cosmic structure & philosophy in respect to ontology, metaphysics, and epistemology at age 11, going at it for 33+ years! I'm an old soul as well, which helps... with everything! * It's funny how I went from a mind full of surreal / multidimensional subjects that I could not put words to, to have grown & learned to do the reverse - use articulation to create expressions with AI art! In 2023, I went into online photography sales, expanding into promptography digital art (AI generator) to match a collection of my own captions of humor and philosophy. I was thrilled! It was like a missing part of myself, complimenting my vast and multi-dimensional imagination. I have a forestry & wildlife conservation degree, and commune with Nature as often as I can. It has been my inspiration for evolving my photography / videography (editing) skills over my lifetime. July 2025, I had to close my online business due to due to finance, inadequate advertising sources, and anti-A.I. sabotage by Meta and Wix insiders. ~ Sage Muauraei Crystalman
