My artistic journey commenced with the recognition that I’m often not fully present.
I began various explorations to cultivate mindfulness, focusing on moments in my daily life that I could genuinely appreciate. However, I found myself wondering why I was striving so hard to exclusively cherish warm and lovable moments. I realized because there are parts of me that I do not want to acknowledge and accept. I redirected my journey towards exploring different parts of myself that I had previously avoided.
This shift led me to the decision to metaphorically “hug” all the different parts of me encountered on this journey. I have concluded to give a metaphorical hug to all the different parts of myself.
I am still on the journey of hugging myself.
