Constant Control

Description

At first glance it may look more like 'Chaos' than 'Control'. That's because when I thought of 'control', I thought of my fear for the lack of it. I'm the kind of person that needs to have everything in control, and in every sense of the word--physically, mentally, emotionally. I need to have everything laid out, planned out, and writing to-do lists are a constant habit. I truly am a scatterbrain and without control of my own mind, I fear insanity. Drugs scare me, not just because of their physical effects, but under the influence I might just lose my mind. (I know. I'm nuts.) Rational thinking keeps me in constant control, and I truly envy and admire free-spirited people who don't feel limited by social constructs and convention.

The image is a photo collage of security cameras, which are meant to keep everything in control. They function to watch over specific areas, to avoid problems and tresspassers. Being under constant surveillance (or constantly surveying) could create much more anxiety than comfort, like their functions would suggest.

When you try to control everything, you actuelly construct chaos.. Because when everyone wants to control everything, arguments grow, because their views on control differ.. And that's how you create chaos
But when you let everything go in chaos, you actuelly have control.. Cause you are the one who made it start, and you are the one who can make it stop. You cannot choose where it goes, but you're the creator, and you're the destructor.. Which in my opinion is the meaning of obsolete control
