Revive - perspective change and reconnection of mind with feelings & emotions
"Das Leben findet einen Weg."
Today I drew this. I used the klein bottle as a symbol of "I am simultaneously inside my body as well as outside my body." It represents important aspects of depersonalization.
Furtherly, I depicted a "brain and heart connection" using circuit lines. The circuit lines attached to the heart flow into the hole of the klein bottle and turn into these red zig-zag lines. I used zig-zag lines as symbol for pendulum-like motion - like, swinging from one extreme to the other, until the line meets itself again - that point is the green dot in the klein bottle.
The klein bottle"s surface serves as "restriction" for the red line"s path. I the red line can also be imagined as a beam of light being reflected inside the klein bottle. (As if the klein bottle"s surface is a sort of bent mirror. )
The circuit lines attached to the brain part flow onto the klein bottle"s surface - which is interesting regarding that klein bottles are non-orientable surfaces.
All this just symbolizes a kind of re-connection between the rational mind and repressed emotions & feelings. It depicts how I try to make the best out of the experiences that left me devastated.
Furthermore, in the drawings the arms are green as well as the place of the heart - The green parts where the last parts I drew. The green symbolizes the "new life", the life after overcoming the pain.
The green arms symbolize being ready for action, actively starting to live - and not just thinking about theoretical possibilities.
At the place around the heart is a tiny cloverleaf made with Fibonacci spirals - and four tiny plants sprouting outta the black dots that are attached to the klein bottle via the circuit lines.
This represents "revival" - becoming able to feel again.
The green roots coming outta the brain part also symbolize a healing aspect of hope and better functioning.
The circuit lines represent "artificial roots", so to speak - like a crutch for the process of healing, like a helper for reconnecting with oneself. This can be regarded as new ways how to look at life - re-evaluation and change of perspective.
The "normal roots" (the green roots) represent a more "fluid" and natural form of connection. They also symbolize a more functional interweaving of one"s own self - a better connection between mind - body - feelings and emotions, so to speak.
