I am currently trying to understand what my Artist Statement is now.

I had a long written version before, but when I read it again today, it no longer felt right.

I just came back from a month in Japan, with some time in Singapore as well. After this trip, I realized that some of the values I had been carrying are no longer valid for me. Some things that once felt painfully present now finally feel like past occurrences.

So I am asking myself:

Who am I, without those traumas and memories from my previous life? 

Maybe this was the closure I needed to go through.

Today, I find myself at another turning point. I will move through it, and find myself again.

See you soon on this page.
