Experimental Animation

The geometry of a triangle has three vertices, each culminating in a point that reaches out and away from its two companions. When one point is at the top, a triangle is vaguely phallic, when two points are northerly, it is yonic. I think about triangles often, as I am one of three in my house: to one a mother, to another a wife and to myself something else again.

In Buddhism there is a concept of Anatta or no-self. Anatta is part of three existential markers, along with Anicca or impermanence. and Dukkha suffering or dissatisfaction. Again, a relationship triangle. This idea of no-self is hard for me as a westerner to understand. What is no-self when I seem to be something to others?

This animation is my exploration and searching towards understanding my own no-self. No self as in, no body and nobody.
