I see this for what it is.

And this is existence surrounded by nothing.

You exist. Yet you are surrounded by nothing. You captured your existence in this picture.

You see your life as frail. And you are asking "how can I exist?"

And the truth is that you exist because you are. You see beauty. You see the truth. And you see it for what it is. Yet you still believe in nothing. And by believing in nothing you are confused.

My original intention was to start a kind of post-apocalyptic comic of sorts, but, i really didn't have any ideas past this page.

maybe it's telling that i can't get past this page.

i like your interpretation. it sounds thought-out.

i like that.

It sounds good because it is all true.

Maybe you should not focus on the more complex idea of a post apocalyptic world but try to convey a more simple message. Try to tell your thoughts. I was able to see that in this picture because I saw your thoughts within it. I mean your literally WRITING out your thoughts. All I needed to do was read it for what it was.

And I think the meaning you have been trying to say is a lot more simple than what I said earlier.

You see yourself as beautiful.

You are told you are not beautiful.

Therefore if you are not beautiful you do not exist.

Actually... I just simplified it more.

You wish to exist.

i think that's oversimplification... I mean, I'm looking at a standpoint that complexity exists for a reason; humans, by our tendency to complicate, are not simple creatures.

I really believe that some things can't be expressed in simple terms.

Still, lots to think about...

Let me put it this way:

When you make something simple. People will not deny it.
When you make something complex people like to think about it.

Simplification is understanding.
Complexity is not.

Do not focus on the complex.
Complexity brings focus.

It's very well made. I love the colors used and aside from the aesthetically pleasing art, it has more meaning.
I like that.
