There's a sense of peace existing in a creative mind space. Uncertainty leads the transient experiments we hope are adequate enough to capture the chaos that we exist in. Every action is a rebirth and breathes life into your being, your purpose, your destiny. This is the cycle I chose to chase and honor

Found a sense to create in a familiar medium (📸)

though hardly mastered, rather a tourist to the craft

I'm going to try to remember this feeling, the urge to create

Sorry I forgot this thing was on

Anyways I'm off collaging, and I'm onto printing over and over on the same sheet of paper

Ive been enjoying using my own elements from photos or videos that I personally shot. It might be vain, but I think vanity isn't bad and we should actually embrace that part of ourselves.

The loss of self love allows another point of exploitation to take hold. And I'm honestly sick of being exploited in every facet of my life

EXISTING TO EXIST//

I'm not going back

it's starting to wear on me

I want to go to bed early everyday

Hoping I can't hear anymore for the day

Yet the next day never seems any better

I'm not going back

That person doesn't exist anymore

Even considering the vitriolic hate

The projection of others impressions

The obsession

And even despite all that

I would do nothing different

Created using Images printed over each other

NO QUARTER, TILL IT'S DONE

Did y'all know the zombies in COD are real??? and it's based on this thing called ww2...they were the bad guys BEFORE they died! I'm glad we all still h8 them

cathartic motions

for the one who

guides through chaos

Idk if this is a collage. Spiritualism was never something I thought I would appreciate, but listening to the universe has been funny that way

this is a piece for her, and to those who also hear her call

//👁️👄👁️//

//

the hollow eyes said more than

any smile ever could

objectified by

those who hate us

//

This is a product of printing multiple times on different kinds of paper. As I was hair drying the glue tears I thought next time I should do the same on the iris too, using it to add more natural highlights to areas

The 'lips' is just an eye that I colored over too, eye thought that was neat 👁️👄👁️

GODDESS FOR THE LOST

//mother for the lost,

those tossed out, misunderstood,

love embraced

protecting us all

her watching eyes stayed alert

for those lost//

The twin cities received a little over 5in of snow, during which a bike race took place. Stupor Bowl 26 was awesome

HOW FUNNY REFLECTIONS ARE

//imagine how free the turtles must feel

when they have yet to see

even their own reflection

only the call of the ocean to answer to//

An attempt to create water reflections using my own original elements

No haiku for this one. It's a functional piece (aka clipboard) I'm going to use to hold my manifest during alleycats ☺️ my favorite part is the hologram piece on the self portrait side.

I started racing alleycats last summer and have been hooked since. It's a great way to throw my body willingly into slightly dangerous situations
