how it started
I’ve come up with this idea in September 2020. It was a typical day at home -- staying inside yet too fearful to go out often.
I was sick of the drastic lifestyle changes that resulted in less physical touch and connection with other people.
My pressured self told me “Now that I have the time to confront my feelings, there are no more excuses.
I should be able to at least write them to get them out of my head.” And so I did.
Then, I wrote down “I don’t know what to feel. Is that okay?” in my journal.
I had this experimental artwork and placed the written words on it and I felt like the loose strings
were tightened. This resonated a lot with friends and strangers.
In my mind, I’m wondering, “what are those ideas, thoughts, and feelings that we keep hidden and unprocessed?”
With mixed feelings, I’m writing this on the anniversary of the pandemic.
Wishing that my art will be a tool to love you and to process this time.
Hoping that everyone is staying safe and sane.
