Yes, another one of these

Hey guys, so because of all the craziness that’s gong down I've decided to make an instagram. I don’t plan on leaving Tumblr, but I thought it might be a good idea to make a backup account.  you can find my new insta here: https://www.instagram.com/nerdwings/

I feel like this piece requires some explanation. This piece was done for an assignment called “What’s on your mind” and at the suggestion of a friend I decided to do my piece about my experience as a skeptic of religion. I want to be absolutely clear that this piece is not meant to be an insult to any religion symbolized here. In fact, it is a self-deprication of my inability to understand religion. The geometric halo represents my rigid black-and-white (true or false) way of thinking. Even as I “dissect” various belief systems, I have trouble grasping fundamental concepts, such as “faith”. I also noticed during the process of making this piece that openly skeptical views are far more likely to draw dirty looks and the like than mainstream religious views. Somehow, that makes this piece even more important to me.

Thank you for your understanding.
