Story

NEED expresses my inner desire and struggle of wanting to be free from suffering by letting go of cravings and attachments. It promotes the realization of impermanence and emptiness of Buddhism philosophy in life.

My left arm in the all images represents the enlightened self that I have not reached yet. Because I am right handed and the senses through my left arm make me feel that it is not completely mine.

The various yarn and tapes represent desires and struggles that I have in life like spirituality and need to be loved.

The marks left on the left arm represent the impermanence of everything in life.
