I’ve been in discovery mode this month. Reading, watching, and following other people’s work, especially that of other creatives.

A shadow falls across a sketchbook page interrupting the work. What I once dismissed as a flaw now reads as something else — a record of standing too close, and of judgement arriving too early.

Discovering the perfect vintage coat and finding the right scrap of paper for a collage are moments that share the same thrill of recognition. Explore why this deceptively simple art form became the cornerstone of my practice, from processing complex emotions to transforming creative mistakes into unexpected possibilities.
