How far would you go to keep a dream alive? How much of your comfort, livelihood and security are you willing to sacrifice to keep a non-ordained hope afloat? Why chance everything on something risky and without a safety net? This is the age old dilemma of the artist, and the answer is simple — because they have no other choice but to. It is death not to be in pursuit of this essential vision, one they feel constantly but only find slightly better ways to crudely articulate over time. That force which is on one hand not part of our world, and on the other, the source from which all things are born.

“The brighter the light, the darker the shadow”

We are all a mystery to ourselves, but some are truly lost in that dark night of the soul. In that darkness, some attempt to find themselves by creating a false aura of brightness, projecting it outward, hoping that wearing a mask of cheerful positivity will transform them into a being that can outshine the seemingly infinite shadow that has enveloped them. But this is a siren song that binds one to a stunted, dead-end version of themselves. The way out is through, and by diving deeper into their walled-off subconscious and understanding the shadow within their heart and mind, they can then uncover a forgotten key that can free them from this shackled state of developmental paralysis.
