About this site
This website serves as a personal archive, a portal to memories and recollections of my younger self. Throughout the compilation process, I've gathered bits and pieces of memories along the way. I decided to compile and consolidate all my artworks along with these memories, sifting through various devices and dating the artworks accordingly. This site holds a personal significance, bearing unique sentiments and serving as a testament to my past few years. It isn't intended for publicity or social media validation; I'm not concerned if it reaches an audience. Instead, it's a time capsule, a bookmark within the tome that narrates my existence, a sanctuary that allows me to reminisce.
I want to leave a trace on this world, at least some evidence that my passionate self once existed.
Assorted Thoughts
I must admit that I often envy my past self, who had the time and courage to create art without being too bothered by external expectations.
Art, since then, has become an innate part of me. I've attempted to bury it under the dusts of time and the desire for prestige, but the urge resurfaces repeatedly. However, this resurgence is always held back by my inner uncertainties and a number of external factors. Fearful of pursuing art as a “waste of time”, or as an opportunity cost of something that is “more valued by society”, I fail my artistic desires again and again. Although the fault lies with my own apprehensions, I can't help but blame modern society for undervaluing this essential aspect of the human experience.
Nonetheless, continuing on, I’d like to venture into various different mediums and subject matters, transcending the constraints that have been set mentally myself. I’ve grown tired of digital art, though it was my only feasible option, given its convenience and accessibility. I yearn to dive deeper into different realms of artistic expression.
