"With All My Heart"
Self-Portrait June 2024
The path to hell may be paved with good intentions, but the flowers that bloom between the cracks teach us lessons of resilience.
Something I really have grown to love about creating art is the journey I get. to go on. Even if I have a specific idea of how I want an image to look going into a photoshoot, more times than not the end result varies in some way. I find myself time and time again sitting with an image and it not meeting my original concept.
At first this was frustrating, it felt like a failure to go into creating with one idea and come out with something totally different. That doesn't mean I didn't love the image, or that the outcome is worse than my original idea (in fact most times its actually better). Instead of feeling frustrated, I have learned to be excited about where my art is going to take me. I enjoy the unknown and figuring it out as I go, I let the process be a part of the art instead of forcing it into place as I see fit.
