Suddenly this visual metaphor of the overenhanced Ego presented itself to me, while attending a faculty meeting and watching the moods gathering behind people's heads. Of course then this Ego beingness started presenting itself in countless human interactions; I watched and drew them down into a collection, tragic and comic, from which these pieces are selected. I hope we recognize ourself in them, and make our meek adjustments.
