I often find myself feeling overwhelmed to the point of apathy. Overwhelmed by overconsumption in both a physical and mental sense; too many things to do, to have, to know. I reach a point where there seems to be no point, where all I want to do is disappear because existence is too much, then I judge myself for feeling such because others have it so much worse.

My practice has been the antithesis of this, an effort to fully engage with my existence through interactions with media and processes that I perceive to be simple and easily understandable. Through repetition I can impose a semblance of order onto things, witnessing outcomes as they evolve and transform through an imperfect process, mimicking nature in their ability to grow. In getting to know the inherent qualities of each medium I use, and considering their longstanding history in relation to humankind, I am encouraged to slow down and ground myself through the appreciation of the small aspects and continuous cycles that make up life.
