Life’s not about the destination, but the journey. Oftentimes we seek answers from others, wherein the answers have always been there, within ourselves. It’s important that we learn to trust ourselves. And as cliche as it is, to follow our hearts; our intuition. And to simply continue on the journey, every day.

This piece was inspired by both a former student as well as a family member. In recognizing in them, potential that they didn’t seem to see in themselves. And in the process of creating the piece, coming to recognize that the message is also a reflection of myself, and more widely, humanity. We often doubt ourselves, placing unnecessary mental limitations, and capping our own potential, unjustly. The purpose of ‘Journey’ is to remind ourselves to follow our intuition and to trust onself.

Created with pen and paper. Digitized with several multimedia tools. The physical piece is a gift for the student that inspired the message.
