Egotheraphy

“Doctor? she said. The only reply she got was the waves of urgency bouncing back from the silent walls. The awkward calm animated the shadows. Sort of gave them an eerie existence. Engrossed inwardly, the Doctor retweeted the 5 pm news." Our society is drenched in self obsession. Every move screams narcissism. Is there a cure? That’s a question we need to probe into. But maybe we are too busy with self gratification. No matter what it costs, harming others, crushing dreams and even degrading ourselves. There’s no stopping. Egotherapy is the latest photographic essay, created by Alejo Arango, a Miami based photographer, right before the artist relocates to Qatar. The project encapsulates the current societal scenario, using a Freudian-like setup. Arango explored the relationship between a psychotherapist and his patient. A brave effort to decipher the narcissistic attitude of our current society, using primitive tell tales and captivating imagery that makes us wonder if we should really take that selfie.
