Anātman is the Sankrit word for “No-Self”:
an (not) and atman (Self).
It may also be found as the Pali word Anatta composed of an (not) and atta (self-existing essence). In Buddhism, it refers to the doctrine of the “No-Self”, stating the negation of an unchanging, permanent essence in any phenomena.
The word has provoked disputes throughout the years, discussing its significance in distinct Buddhist traditions, Hinduism, and general etymology.
In this case, however, Anātman is meant to reflect a space loyal to the ever-changing gradation of reality and the dynamic architecture of our heart.
