*a note:
Throughout February, I became more heavily burdened for the words we use to communicate our own perspectives.
Watching posts on social media become more and more volatile and disrespectful.
It is damaging when we create outrage on the internet yet miss the ones beside us who are suffering.
We ‘other’ others without hesitation. We insert sarcastic emojis, gifs and snippets of news clips to demand our point and our outrage to be seen.
Yet,
We have become increasingly numb to the trauma and wounds of others.
Seeing the trees around us bear the weight of the winter ice and winds reminded us how much we are all carrying.
And by we, I mean…
The ‘we’ of humanity. ‘We’ the breathing. ‘We’ the me and ‘we’ the you.
’We’ the ‘every’ side.
May we collectively remember, especially now, what it means to support those who are suffering, to be the place they can recover and find strength and not the place they struggle to survive and begin to break under the weight of our own words and actions.
For the year 2022, I’ll be working on a personal project and series “Creative Field Notes”.
Using my personal reflections, creative inspirations and topics I find that is relevant I will be putting together content in a monthly format that aims to reflect that process.
I am not fully clear on how this will shape itself, but I believe that is the whole point.
I want to become closer to myself and those around me through my creative journey.
I want to document more.
I want to find out how this lives outside of myself
and
I want to stay attentive and mindful of the creative process as a whole.
Whatever else occurs while working on this, will surely be an on-the-ground and active discovery.
Onwards,
