SELF PORTRAIT 2024

It’s a strange thing chasing art. I feel as much constrained as I do free. Externally I’m trapped but internally I feel rich. I made the decision to earn enough to survive but not enough to live. I can’t partake in the luxuries that exist outside but I can partake in the simple things like a walk in nature. Sacrificing money for time allows me to think. It gives me time to explore my mind and to tap into the world of ideas on a personal level. It’s liberating. 

This self portrait series represents this current moment in time for me. Feeling the effects of a decision which was once a thought, now deep in the making. Persevering the limits of finance and that of a creative mind. Chasing boredom to the point of excitement. Just me, my pen, and a notebook.
