# _aquarium By [k-art](https://paragraph.com/@kartjust) · 2023-01-08 --- **\_aquarium** | manifold.xyz _72 hour Open Edition_ **start:** 2023/01/09 - 04.00 PM UTC **price:** 0.039 **to mint**: [https://app.manifold.xyz/c/aquarium](https://app.manifold.xyz/c/aquarium) \---------------- we need more **stories**... evolved stories! and the **aquarium** is the sum of all the stories. ![concern](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0fa94a523c41c0b54ef9690e27843ac3535b5830a8c2319b1f35f64026bb4499.png) concern \_**aquarium** has its own feelings... it's an **empty** pool. we are the ones who fill it! it still reacts to us, try pouring your **feelings** into an empty pool! ..it means that the aquarium feeds on us.. how you characterize it is entirely up to you. you can see it as the concrete universe you live in, or it can be your mental cellar, the **_walls_** of which no one else sees but you. my **concerns**! one of the important fruits of the pool! my **concerns** are the reason why I exist.. the things that keep me alive.. my **concerns** have shaped me from the beginning and I shaped the **aquarium**.. this aquarium is my **reflections**.. as I mentioned before, you will shape it according to you because there is enough **place** for everyone in the aquarium! ![walls and expressions](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/e8d50caca043fffbd9ce23d125c75b67c3b0091e2b689da0c4e9c65a84434990.png) walls and expressions **the walls (|||)** that I mentioned in my previous mirrors form the basis of my mental approach. while expressing even the simplest emotions, my main source of approach is **walls**. COD (_consume, obey, die_) emerged as a criticism of our daily routines and the most prominent expression is the walls. and expressions and **the KILLA**! we all create killers! these killers work as bricklayers.. as we tear down or build **walls**, we become killers. our strongest weapon expressions that we use when breaking **walls**. our expressions aren't just for tearing down or building walls. we are sacrificing someone.. maybe ourselves, maybe someone else.. that makes us killers because we either **kill** ourselves or someone else.. and we produce heaps of **graves**! we create heavy loads! then how do we hide the existence of these loads\_ **SMILE**! ![dream](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/2896048c7fbccd32f498b2c7fdcedbe81878996f7aea35f1ad6c16a1aea3c819.png) dream the main reason for the formation of the aquarium metaphor is how limited our **dreams** are? or how much space a **box** can have.. it will end somewhere and be considered **limited**. shape it the way you want and you decide. but compare the aquarium metaphor with a **consciousness**! beyond the **consciousness** we see.. the lower **consciousness**. our dreams? at this point, if we proceed by assuming that the **_aquarium_** = our **_dreams_**, I do not see a limit to which we can reach the end. so the **aquarium** is not just mine.. whatever you think, whatever you feel, put it in.. ..after all, it's a limitless place. and yes for me, they are all our **dreams**.. or our **nightmares**. \_our **sufferings** are the pleasures of others. \_our pleasures are the **suffering** of others. “night is a time to dream as well as a time to sleep. languages, forms, behavior patterns and perceptual paradigms that limit what we see, hear, smell and think are contrary to the structure of dreams, which have their own form and language. In dreams, colors, images, people, emotions and thoughts mix freely and create unique combinations. dreams are so free that we find it difficult to put them into words ─ the rigid structures that shape the human mind throughout the day are not enough, or even hinder, to express our dreams.” \* -gunduz vassaf, prisoners of ourselves-\* ![red and green](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/8862fce655e6a675b9c1d554a1e4ebac895214bb9124b967b04f2728f7d88bba.png) red and green making sense of colors has not been an approach I have used in my work so far... but I decided that this was the best method to express the complementarity of the **aquarium**. green is the complement of red.. red forms the basis of the aquarium and green represents us. and the **aquarium** is our greatest complement either.. an endless space where we accumulate what makes us who we are and what we want to ignore. ![HAK](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/41622e065614d71508fd059e0ca9b1799daebfacfdea30384dca5d1bae44e11a.png) HAK it would be unfair not to adapt it to the present while talking about how many aquariums are a shared space! so \_aquarium is a completely CC0 work.. \_you have the freedom to use it wherever you want, however you want. the more you fill in this field, the more this work will achieve its purpose! so please feel free and work on the work as you wish with your self.. use them however you want, wherever you want! \_use the **aquarium** when you want to complete yourself... sometimes as a guide, sometimes as an escape tool. \---------------- that’s the way. --- *Originally published on [k-art](https://paragraph.com/@kartjust/aquarium)*
