Trees, just as any of topic I like to work with. Has a path to follow, has time to grow and it surrounding to make it the best tree it can be. In a way you could say that we need to create to grow or evolve into who we need to be. And the path to follow is not an empty one. Yet it is filled with obstacles, challenges and also friends an d family to help guide your way.
Pencel on paper
What drives us to create something, to leave something on this earth that we have made with our hands, Thought off thoroughly in our mind, and love with all our heart when it turn out the way we hoped. However long it may have taken us.
I am sure I can not answer this question for everyone, instead I would like to give my vision to it, perhaps you will recognize some of your reasoning into this as well.
For me it all started when I was a little girl. I started to see all the stories I heard like a movie before my eyes. Images following each other telling me more then the words ever could. And making me understand the things of the world.
Most children learn to draw at some point in their lives as teacher find it an appropriate outlet to deal with emotions. Experiences we as children might not understand yet. It went the same for me I started drawing at an early age but my creational spirit didn’t stop there.
Yet I never let go of drawing and painting and found graphic design as new world to explore.
I experimented ever since I remember with different materials, surfaces and effects to find my perfect outlet. And found that it is the story that needs a certain medium to come to light.
I am not in this to make a statement, or to influence politics. I create to leave a part of myself to this world in a hope to immortalize my soul as well as the hope to never be forgotten.
