creativity is contradicting.

after photographing another concert for free questioning what am i even doing and wallowing in my own loneliness, i walk towards the opera house making a voice memo about my reflections of being an artist and the paradoxes of artistic creation, making money, and how others view artistic creation. sitting there for 40 minutes, i encounter security guards patrolling an empty area asking me to leave, and other guards asking if im okay as i sit on the jet boat wharf dangling my legs over. but truthfully, i just wanted to dwell in the moment and the feelings for longer, prolonging to go home. i check the train timetables and realise if i dont catch the last train home, id have to find another way home so i quickly run to the station. im the only one there. its a strange feeling of loneliness and peacefulness.

note: this is a purely reflective and journalistic piece which may contain misinformation. the first half is from a non-scripted voice-memo i made and the second half is written. this video is non- researched and is my own opinion.
