Abstract
In its contemporary incarnation the Epic, an artistic endeavor that has historically sought to encompass all other forms in a single seamless story line, can only fully command the realm of the internal. It demands the creation of a personal, metaphysical journey of self-revelation, and the fictionalization and itemization of the psychological players. This project, a narrative under the direction of combative philosophical leanings, attempts to reconcile the fundamental dichotomies that govern my existence and consolidate them into a cohesive conceptual and concrete form.
