How does this make me look? That innocent question manages my persona and defines how I show up in the world. Trading in my potential for insecurity; and my certainty for a question.

Looking is an expression rooted in appearances. More concerned with the impression of a thing than the reality of it – Attempting to convince onlookers that the surface is home.

People concerned with how they look, externalize their power. A world concerned with how it looks, gives power to a select few.

To look or not to look … that is the question?
