Outgrown

The claustrophobic inevitability of growing up is something that’s been nipping at my heels each day I get older. I know I’m not a kid anymore, but, at the same time, not quite yet an adult. The transition between sun-bathed childhood bedrooms and scarily uncertain adulthood leaves me feeling cramped in a once familiar space I’ve long outgrown.

As an artist, creativity is such an important way to open conversations of vulnerability. It's beyond what my words could express, and pouring myself into my artwork is a declaration of creation, of what I can offer to the world, and the connections I can make through art.
