Dylan Shaban is a junior in Integrated Digital Media at Tandon. He chose graphic design as his his medium, saying that at times he feels “so frustrated that he needs to scream and yell and stomp his feet, and this is how he does it.”

You’ll spend your entire life searching for a reason to belong. At the end of that path is grave disappointment. For here is the secret… there is no fish in the sea, there is no bird, no bee, nor love, nor lust. There is only you. You and you alone. So, love yourself.

Clench. Don’t let go. No break in concentration. No break in breath, no freedom from the grip.

Trapped, stuck, bound — call it what you like. This is humanity. We are not special, nor are we unique. Ordinary and predictable, this is the human condition.
