This work is a reminder to welcome oneself. Let us be grateful for that hero (or heroine) in us who has sustained through life's challenges and through suffering. This part of us has aroused the courage to transcend our fears, our losses, and external and internal prohibitions in order to see life in our own way and to create it according to our uniqueness.

So instead of beating ourselves on the head some days, let's remember this hero or heroine that we are who created a whole epic with our life.

The truth was in the fat, in the deep sleep, in the strength of the black bear, the power of dreams and spirit.5” Serge Bouchard, anthropologist This is a tribute to my grandmother Agathe dite la Montagnaise. https://www.gallea.ca/fr/artistes/lucien-carol-proulx-1/oeuvre/100962

Ego-system versus Ecosystem

Image
  Ego-system versus ecosystem Pine, lime, cedar, iron, aluminum, stain, varnish paint 132.08 x 45.72 x 30.48 cm.

It has a fundamental thirst for existence and pleasure, which translates into the urge to possess. He says to himself: "The more I possess and the harder I work to achieve it, the more unique, valuable and worthy of recognition I am. To secure this feeling of being more, he sets out to control as much as possible, so as not to be caught off-guard by others and himself. This mode of operation leads to unbridled overactivity, which has an impact on the environment. The personal ego thus becomes part of a universal ego, blind to the destruction it can cause.
