Anyway, your triangles interest me for reasons unrelated (I'm into symbology among other things) and hope you will expound on any memory you might have of how and why you chose 5+7=12 triangles, TWICE even!
You were still a deep thinker and clever cookie at the age of 10!

Calling yourself "awake" is basically like screaming "I am a dumb egomaniac who is easily pacified when given a pleasing title that contradicts my own stupidity ".
I do not use the term "awake", and find most people who do to be the most "lost bunch of dreamers" out there.
The term is usually used by people who just recently found Alex Jones, Bill Cooper, David Icke, etc.
I also notice it is usually used by people with a low intelligence or a bad habit of feeling "enlightened" for no better reason then "seeing a youtube clip" or "reading a conspiracy book".
Being able to point out every eye over a pyramid and then claiming you are "awake to the Illuminati" is a farce.
I'm sure Socrates had a better way of saying it to you...but I am not philosopher.
ALL that aside.
AWSOME painting. I would hang it in my home.

Typical retort from someone claiming the status of "awake".
Pointless, hollow and effortless.
....didnt deserve a second line
Frankly, you didn't even need to share the first.
You could have simply waved your hands around and made a barking noise to achieve the same level of effect.
Like I said-
Self proclaimed "awake" = mindless droll best reserved for self-absorbed buffoons croaking on about nothing (while getting nothing done).

Depends on how you define 'awake', I suppose. Going to grammar school in 1979 was a genuine eye-opener regards the class-system in England - and particularly the ramifications of being the bottom end of the class-system. That lead me to becoming more politically 'aware', and in the hot flush of youth, practically screaming for 'class war'.
I've tempered slightly as I've got older, but much of the problems I saw with the eyes of a schoolboy, I'm still seeing now but perhaps looking up on a larger picture.
