This face jug is titled “Aram”. Below is a link to purchase this face jug along with a short story dealing with the coming and going and back and forth looping of the dualistic mind.

The Mind of Aram

Aram exists not as an external force, but as the shadow side of human consciousness, born from the same brain that seeks to make sense of the world through patterns. The brain’s constant drive to recognize and categorize the world fuels both clarity and confusion. This pattern-seeking mechanism allows humans to see connections and meaning, but it also gives rise to illusions, desires, and fears—Aram’s realm. When these patterns are misinterpreted, they lead to attachment, craving, and the illusion of the self, making Aram a manifestation of the very tool that brings order to chaos.

As humanity continues contemplating, the duality of consciousness becomes clear. The same mental processes that help humanity see through the illusion of separation also give rise to Aram’s temptations—urges to hold onto fleeting pleasures, avoid discomfort, and cling to identity. But by recognizing Aram as a projection of mind, humanity transcends this duality. Humanity understands that Aram is not a separate force, but a product of the brain’s pattern recognition gone awry. In this realization, humanity sees that liberation is in understanding the mind’s tendencies and not being bound by them.
