‘Becoming Me 55’ is about becoming, about becoming whole, about growing, about growing beyond oneself. This image was created while I was writing my book ‘The Eva Manifesto’.

Every human being carries within them the potential for both forms of energy: on the one hand, the energy that moves the world forward (shown in red-orange in the picture) and, on the other hand, the energy that holds the world together. In the book, I have given these two energies the names TCHA and WEIY, as all existing names seemed biased to me – e.g. Yin and Yang.

I feel both forces at work within me. In recent years, I have regained aspects of myself that I had lost through upbringing and socialisation. At 55, I feel stronger, healthier and happier than ever before in my life.
