I will consider how a process of self-reflection—of looking back at one’s triumphs and failures—can be used to challenge one’s limited personal beliefs. In my case, with respect to religion, these beliefs inhibited a greater understanding of my truest self, and kept me stuck in a rut. To inform this discussion, I will examine my own experiences of self analysis through the ideas of various philosophical thinkers, my own creative practice in video installation and how these combined allow me to become unstuck.
