Over the weekend, I watched Inside Out in back to back sittings while working on a new mixed media portrait. The little voices inside my head directed these digital fragmentations.
If you could see the wheels of my mind turing while daydreaming at work. This is what you would see…

Joy’s sunny halo gave rise to a hopeful, “Sunrise Meditation”.
Know the part in Inside Out where Joy, Sadness and Bing Bong take a shortcut through Abstract Thought. The first stage is non objective fragmentation.
No matter what obstacles are before you, just keep going.
