Expression doesn't have to be pretty or perfectly logical.
It's simply a way for us to make sense of ourselves and the world.
On average, we absorb 74 gigabytes of information, process 70,000 thoughts, and experience over 400 emotions each day. Imagine sitting in a bustling café, surrounded by the constant hum of conversation, the sounds of laughter and frustration, and baristas calling out orders every few minutes to rise above the noise. It would be difficult to focus, wouldn’t it?
With so much input and so much happening within us, how much time do we actually spend on output and release? Whether we realise it or not, we all have a deep-seated need to express ourselves. The method of expression doesn't matter—whether through journaling, singing, cooking, dancing, drawing, or even gardening. Finding a way to process and release the on-goings of our inner world allows us to discover new insights about ourselves and gain clarity on our path forward.
"The opposite of depression is expression"
Dr. Edith Edger
For me, creating art is both a form of release and a source of joy. I love to explore ideas and concepts, and my interpretations come to life through my art. Each piece reflects my inner world and serves as a visual affirmation that uplifts the spirit. The act of creating anchors me in the present, and as I step back to observe its progress, it's as if I'm gazing gently into my own soul. ​
