Flipping through my finished visual journal from 2013. I was well into this journal before I truly realized what it was about. It started as artistic play, simply stream of consciousness in artistic form. Working through the pages, clearing my mind, and escaping from the world into glue, paper, paint and ink–minutes turned into hours. I found an escape, a hiding place where I felt relevant. I struggle to figure out where I fit the grand scheme of life and where I am going from here. Some days everything feels very empty and broken in the grand scheme of life, yet I feel inspired and full of love in my tiny scope of life–I struggle with that stark dichotomy daily. I think everyone wants to be heard, but most of us feel utterly voiceless. This is my voice, I suppose. It is small, but art has become my hiding place, and ultimately my weapon of choice.
