Everyone has been of such help to me this Mexican art exhibit project. I hate to keep asking questions, but I need heeelp! Here's the whole long sentence, and the only thing I can come with for "la vida de su Yo" is "one's interior life" (losing the "I" in the process).
Sobre este género el creador piensa que es la facultad de hacer objetos que representan esa variedad de emociones que constituyen **la vida de su Yo,** al luchar por darle al barro y al bronce, una novedosa dignidad y calidad a través de la interrelación activa de volúmenes y espacios, de juegos o ensayos con colores, texturas y dimensiones; de barroquismos y hasta malabarismos, a veces graciosos, otras desgarrados, logrando en muchas de sus propuestas escultóricas una fuerza e intensidad únicas.

his Ego's life/ his Ego
Creo que se refiere a su Yo freudiano, por eso está con mayúsculas en español. Yo lo que le quitaría es la referencia a "la vida de" porque está implícita y quizá le añadiría "the fabric" que lo siento más claro. Por ende, una sugerencia sería ...of emotions that constitute/make/ weave the fabric of his Ego. O algo en ese sentido. Aunque "I" es sinónimo creo que usarlo daría a confusión.

Podría preguntarte -en privado- el nombre del autor (sospecho que es autora), porque entonces sabemos cuál es el marco de referencia. Si es quien me inclino a pensar, sería el yo lacaniano: the ‘awake,’ conscious, rational self, en cuyo caso creo que \"rational self\" sería lo adecuado.

Comment: "Thank you again! I capitalized "ego" and that let me parallel the "Yo". And as always, thanks to everybody for sharing the other good ideas."

his or her "me-ness"; the life if his or her "me-ness"; the "me-ness" of being)
Personally, I prefer simply "his or her 'me-ness'"--with or without quotes around "me-ness," but I'm warming to the idea of "the life or his or her me-ness." I also found a lot of references to "the me-ness of being"; also, "the me-ness of me"; 8,650 references to "me-ness." The first reference shows its use in art; the second, as a serious concept in psychology; and the third, in phenomenology.
