It's possible I’m suited for Surrealism, but I'll likely be kicked out for criticising it shortly after.
This imaginary scenario is rooted in my conflicted nature - a daydreamer, but also a realist. Right after I finally achieve any long-held dream of mine, critical thoughts about that achievement uncontrollably emerge in the back of my mind.
I've also noticed this dilemma in all aspects of my life. Especially in art, it explains my affinity with Surrealists. Surrealism focuses on exploring the unconscious and unpredictability of human's mind. This surprisingly aligned with my my messy subconciousness.
However, I soon became critical of Surrealism itself - the morality behind manipulating human unconsciousness. To me, such act of exploration can only be morally justified when conducted by professional therapists. In fact, even Sigmund Freud himself was skeptical of artistic applications of his theories, as psychoanalysis was originally intended solely for medicality. Because one never expects to be therapeutically guided when viewing art, the movement poses a mental risk to Surrealism's audience.
The video, which is my portrait, retold the setting above - a deer torned apart by its own mind.
