[Mental Witness] refers to experiencing events that do not necessarily have a physical occurrence but are still part of a human experience. This experience can reflect consciousness and non perceivable realities. Events are experienced as we strive in life. What is our attitude for handling our struggle? Is everything solemn?

   As a witness, I am depicting internal experiences of relationships, society, environment, work, and life itself.
