i wish that feeling would stay

raw feelings! collection

This piece is about the feeling of being original, and the constant desire to create new things. There is a great satisfaction, a rush, that comes from creating something new, and that’s a constant high we chase as artists. But it also comes with a dark side - the pressure to create can lead to the temptation to take shortcuts and copy the work of others for the sake of money and success. It’s important to me that my work is not simply a copy of other’s ideas - I want to always be pushing myself and creating work that comes from within.
