"Fearful past causes a fearful future and the past and future become one.”

On hearing the theme of the exhibition, I used this as a very exciting opportunity to address a topic very key to significantly shaping our future; The past. I always adore making pieces that talk about self and all the expressions around it. This piece is no different, Our past can weigh a very dark shadow above our future. Finding out who we were does not determine who we can become changed my life. This piece expresses the desire to let go of past selves caused by trauma and tough experiences but holding back because of the fear of an even rockier future. To forge the future, we must let go. While easier said than done, we must. One step at a time.
