Shuichi Meditating “ Shuichi Meditating” 2007 is a Collaborative work by Ginger Owen and Shuichi Murakami, 0:44 This work is a portrait study of Shuichi Murakami as he attempts to visualize his inner time lag. It depicts montage images of personal struggle and desire to take charge of his mind. Meditation is a practiced skill to reach peace - enlightenment - happiness; attention is focused away from the habitual mental noise of the “Mind”. The natural result of attaining the ability to quiet one’s own mind is the discovery of self-awareness. Awareness is the substance of which we think we are; it is “I”. Witnessing movement of awareness, acknowledging existence of awareness is the self-discovery of “I”. If we can learn to observe the endless emotional inner pain caused by outer input, we might grasp the key to our own inner map. Our state of mind is like a garden without gardener: unwanted weeds (chaotic, emotional thought) take over. If the gardener can imagine his garden beautiful, then there is a way to cultivate his dream. A skilled gardener uses refined tools and practice.
