[ VIEW PROJECT ]




Each FALSEHIGH project treats the medium as an active force—shaping how symbols are interpreted, elevated, or distorted within larger systems.
“The union of opposites on a higher level of consciousness is not a rational thing, nor is it a matter of will; it is a process of psychic development that expresses itself in symbols.”

- Carl Jung

(Collected Works 13; Alchemical Studies)




“In order to express our sense of reality, we must use some kind of symbol: words or notes or shades of paint or television pictures or sculpted forms. None of those symbols or images can ever completely satisfy us because they can never be any more than what they are—a fragment of a reflection of what we feel reality to be.”

-  Mister Rogers
