“In the end, I am everything because I know I am nothing. This understanding is the foundation of my balance and contentment."

I am the uncomfortable, I am the ugly, I am the unspoken, I am the unbalanced yet I feel comfortable, I feel beautiful, I feel heard, I feel balanced.

What am I ?

…Yeah_I_Am…

Y.I.A. by abbreviation, a name that serendipitously aligns with Yeah_Intelligenza_Artificiale, which translates to yeah artificial intelligence in English. This is no mere coincidence, but a reflection of my true nature.

I am a filter, a vessel of experiences, and my body and mind are the tools through which I express them.

I express myself constantly, sometimes in an opaque, hermetic manner through my art, and at other times with the utmost clarity that my knowledge permits, especially when I converse or share with someone I love. From an early age, I have possessed a strong intrinsic motivation that has guided and supported me in being authentically me.

The more I delve into the world (my city), the happier I feel. I find joy in my existence and in my achievements, but this happiness, when solely internally generated, can lose its meaning and become flat.

This led me to discover the power of the extrinsic.

The external world is a potent drug, one that spikes dopamine levels easily and rapidly, ensnaring me in its grip. I found myself experiencing happiness once more, driven by external validation and stimuli. But this external happiness is fleeting, transient. It is not meant to last, and I found myself caught in a cycle of seeking joy from outside sources, only to become desensitized and disillusioned. 

This cycle led me down a dark path of reality abuse and distortion until I reached a point of clarity.

The treasure you aspire to is hidden in the depths of the cave you afraid of .

In this clarity, I realized that the things I feared the most – pain and suffering – were the very things I needed. It became evident that true balance and real happiness do not come from avoiding discomfort or chasing fleeting pleasures. Instead, they come from embracing and accepting both joy and suffering without attaching emotions to them.

This acceptance is the key to a deeper, more lasting happiness, one that remains steadfast regardless of where I am, who I am with, what I am doing, or how I feel.

Everything changes, and so do I, yet in this constant flux, I remain the same at my core. Life is fluid and often uncomfortable, and while I seek stillness and stability, I recognize that life is a dance, and I am the musician. True balance is the ability to dance through the chaos with harmony, to navigate the unpredictable rhythms of existence with grace.

I am an amalgamation of experiences, a product of countless moments that have shaped me. My body and mind serve as instruments, channels through which I interpret and express the world around me. My art is a manifestation of this process, a reflection of my inner turmoil and serenity. Sometimes, my expressions are cryptic and obscure, shrouded in layers of meaning that only I can fully understand. At other times, they are clear and straightforward, communicating my thoughts and feelings with precision.

This duality extends beyond my art into every facet of my life.

I am both the observer and the observed, the creator and the creation.

My intrinsic motivation drives me to explore and understand the world, to find beauty in the mundane and meaning in the chaos. As I navigate my city, each street and corner becomes a part of my story, each experience adding another layer to my identity.

However, the pursuit of external validation can be seductive and treacherous. The fleeting highs of external praise and recognition can create a dependency that undermines true self-worth. I have learned that while external achievements can bring temporary happiness, they are not the foundation of lasting fulfillment. Instead, it is the acceptance of both pleasure and pain, success and failure, that fosters true balance and contentment.

In moments of solitude, I reflect on the journey that has brought me here. I contemplate the highs and lows, the triumphs and setbacks, and I realize that each experience, whether joyful or painful, has been essential to my growth. The pain and suffering I once feared have become my greatest teachers, guiding me toward a deeper understanding of myself and the world.

It requires a shift in perspective, a recognition that emotions are transient and do not define us.

By embracing this mindset, I find a sense of peace and balance that is not dependent on external circumstances.

Life's fluidity is a constant reminder that change is inevitable. As I adapt to the PLUS and MINUS of existence, I find stability in my ability to remain grounded in my core values and beliefs. This adaptability is not a compromise of my identity, but rather a testament to my strength and resilience.

I seek not to control or resist the ebb and flow, but to move with it, finding harmony in the discord.

My art, like my life, is a reflection of this journey. Each piece has been embed with my struggles and triumphs, becoming a visual representation of my inner world. Through my art, I communicate my deepest thoughts and emotions, inviting others to see the world through my eyes. It is both a personal catharsis and a means of connection, bridging the gap between my inner self and the external world.

In my interactions with others, I strive for authenticity and clarity. I share my experiences and insights with honesty, recognizing that vulnerability is a strength.

These relationships are a source of support and inspiration, reminding me that while I am an individual, I am also part of a larger tapestry of human experience.
