The Reason You Want to Be Better: 11x14 Black Framed Art
Alan Watts had a way of turning self-improvement on its head, reminding us that the endless pursuit of "better" can often be the very thing standing in our way. The reason you want to be better is the reason why you aren’t. It’s a paradox wrapped in wisdom—one that invites us to let go of striving and step fully into who we already are.
This one-of-a-kind framed artwork, designed and hand-finished by Monica Bond, brings Watts’ insight to life with intricate, pen-plotted precision, later re-inked by hand to emphasize its organic nature. The geometric balance, bold accents, and collage-like details symbolize the harmony that emerges when we stop grasping for more and embrace the present. Subtle pearl-like embellishments add depth, reminding us that imperfection is part of the design.
This 11×14 print is framed in an 11x14 frame, making it a striking piece to reflect upon daily. A visual and philosophical reminder that you don’t need to chase something outside yourself—you’re already it. Each piece is framed in a high-quality solid wood frame with real glass, ensuring durability and a beautifully polished presentation.
