Self-Sabotage

I usually write to help center myself, and this time was no different. The pieces express my frustrations, mainly about my own thought process and the way I think about things. There is a constant struggle with letting myself feel what I do and trying to stomp out the negativity with empathy and perspective (ie feeling what I want vs feeling what's right). Each piece explores the irritation by villainizing something insignificant in my life and essentially creating something out of nothing.

Art creates little bookmarks in my head that walk me down my thought process when I create and (re)read my work. It allows me to make sense of myself and others, and perceive the world as I want to within the limits of my own mind.
