"Killfears®" was born in 2012 in London and is trying to reflect on the consequences of trauma and on an individual need to develop self- awareness. 

 

The whole idea was born by the need to understand me - I know it sounds egocentric but is because most probably it is :)

 

Why are we afraid?

Why do we sometimes suffer from panic attacks?

Why do we hesitate to do things that we REALLY WANT TO DO but --we can't!!

 

Why, after a traumatic experience, might we think and act differently? 

 

Why do we worry?

if worrying is not helping us (and we know it doesn't!) why do we keep doing it anyway!

 

Why even though our rational brain says NO do we still feel YES! Should our brains lead to our actions or not? How far we should rely on our feelings?

 

O Balance, where art thou?

 

Since all these questions torture my mind and soul, I wanted to depict them and share them with some other minds and souls - so we can torture altogether, mind and soul! 

 

The company helps, so they say...

 

 

Well, to recap, the aim here is to answer some basic "mental torture" questions and get some answers! and tell to the brain:

 

- Who is the boss here dude? 

 

Take control over your life and kill all the unpleasant feelings of fear, panic and failure. 

 

Feel free - Be Free - is the ultimate goal of our existence.

 

LOVE and SHARE <3
