Description
Not only by counting the number of growth rings can determine the age of a tree, but interpreting the spacing of growth rings can tell us much about it's life.How can we understand the mind if not looking backwards and examining our past. Trough time, our mind has become a mind within a mind - an endless journey of nested personalities.

I've always been fascinated by the russian Matryoska dolls. The concept of nesting dolls, growth rings and onions is with me when I think of age and personality.

the philosophy behind the picture is what I am most impressed with. It has a profound truth that people are losing more of every day.
Good work.

Mid blowing piece of art.
This is exactly how I felt when drinking a shot of whiskey after a concentrated joint of weed. Or as they in my place, A SHOTGUN BLAST

It is curious that you use the 'mind within a mind' terminology...as species evolve they keep their old brain as a new one evolves around it. Within the primate brain exists a reptilian brain deep at the center, becoming more advanced through development.
Wonderful concept and piece also ^^
