A big influence in wanting to create this piece deals with the lack of understanding I see in myself and in todays world in our wants and desires. Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical in our human bodies(exists in animals too but much higher in humans) that gives us drive + motivation and want + desire. It makes you look outside yourself, pursue things outside yourself and crave things outside of yourself. It’s also what makes us want to check our phones/facebooks/social media apps 1000 times a day! Along with other addictive behaviors like playing video games, caffeine, nicotine, etc.
