You Are Not Your Wounds.

The “Not Your Wounds” collection is a new category I’ve dedicated to my own person and mental health. The reason im taking this collection in a more dedicated and serious way is because like in life, you have to be brave. You have to try new things that you’re very uncomfortable with. You have to challenge yourself and tell yourself you’re enough and you can take on any and everything life has to throw at you because you are resilient. You are impeccable and unique and above all you’re beautiful as an individual alone. You’ll still make mistakes. You’ll still fuck up and stress out. So for me, a painting is like life. You are challenging yourself to create something from nothing, to feel something from nothing. Most importantly, when I’m working on a painting that I’m putting my soul into, it allows me to escape from my mind for a little bit. Our minds can be a beautiful but scary place.

This collection is created on an 12x16 claybord. Claybord is unique, versatile and theres room for mistakes like in life. And like in life we learn from those mistakes and we master the craft of being better.
