Man’s Search For Meaning

~ In homage to advancing culture, together. ~ (Pang)

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” — Viktor Frankl

Here ends the roads and days of a two decades project. On site installation, sculpting, photographic capture, painting commenced circa 1996 after ringing the bell in BUD/S (Navy SEAL Training)… 2018 is when the paint dried. This portfolio consists of twenty-seven images and writings in conversation with each other. Inaugural solo exhibition Man’s Search For Meaning opening Easter Weekend in The American South, The Fruit (Durham, USA).
