Relational Tensions

Between Mirrors

We each carry two conflicting identities: the person we believe ourselves to be, and the person others perceive us to be. This unavoidable gap between internal and external perception shapes everything from our relationships to our personal growth.

Between Passions

We each carry two conflicting passions: the desire to belong to others, and the desire to become something greater for ourselves. This unavoidable tension between connection and individuality shapes everything from our priorities to our regrets.
