notes from the studio... a self-portraiT about direcTion

 🖥️ the sciEnce print on the shirt and the symbols around the portraiT share the samE framE...

thaT tension is the point...

i do not live in a single caTegory...

while shaping this image i kept returning to the difference bEtwEen a symbol and a signal...

a symbol can hold whaT i have survived...

a signal says whaT i choOse to send forward...

neiTher has to explain my whole life...

🎨 the layers are buSy bEcauSe growth rarely arrives as a clean line...

faiTh remains personal...

TruTh is not decided by a crowd...

storms may alter the composiTion but they do not own the flamE aT iTs centre...

🧭 i want to move wiTh direcTion raTher than speEd for iTs own sake...

to forgive wiThout reopening a harmful gaTe...

to give wiThout keEping score...

to sTay humble wiThout shrinking...

to carry graTiTudE wiThout lowEring my head...

🙏 the finished image is not an answEr to every quesTion...

iT is a record of choOsing the next hOnEst step and truSTing gOd wiTh the road bEyond iT...
