Most of our lives we are striving for a sense of love, happiness, and belonging; we want to be a part of something more than just ourselves. Inherently, when we don’t find these things or when they’re accompanied by hardship, evoking the opposite feelings. Much of the happiness that we experience often has moments of sadness by its side, the passionate, intimate moments we have with another are coupled with periods of loneliness. The sense of freedom we have, can be matched with the restraints of anxiety. This experience of life is full of intense emotions, all equally necessary. Without loneliness we wouldn’t appreciate intimacy, and because we experience the lows of sadness we value the highs of happiness. It’s a beautiful experience to live this life and feel these emotions. Everyone has a different perspective on these experiences, a compelling view of what’s inside the mind.

A collection inspired by the feelings and experiences in my life, and how they are perceived inside my mind.
