Concept

What inspired me to create and make this concept come to life?

The past few years of my life, I struggled with expressing my anger in healthy ways, so I began, I had to begin, journaling. I wrote about all the fury, the rage and hatred I held inside and sometimes after writing, it would get quiet. One day, I started writing poetry. Once again, my emotions were overflowing so I wrote and wrote and wrote on so many notebooks. I couldn't stop, until eventually, it got completely quiet again. 

In time, having never stopped writing, I began to look back at all my written notebooks with so much compassion, for the ways in which I wrote, for the emotion I felt and with admiration and gratitude, for being and living as a human being.

For allowing myself to do the best I could, with what I had, for turning pain into anger and for expressing myself the way I did; for being vulnerable and making mistakes in my darker times. The emotional contrast began to settle and I was now able to compare what I used to feel when I was writing, and what I was feeling now reading my poems. It felt like day and night.

Alongside the therapy I did throughout the years and my passion for occultism, exploring my shadow side, my dark self, allowing it to exist in words written on my notebooks, my own hardcover journals that I hold dearly, has been one of the most rewarding journeys my soul has ever been on.

The contrast that came to surface has been and is the foundation for this concept, alongside the need to keep on exploring the darker side of our emotions and accepting them as a source of personal inspiration. I now feel freer than I did in the days of hiding my anger in notebooks, to let all sides of my creativity come to light, in a continuous balance and contrast, that I can explore and work with, through any and all that gets published on this now live website.

All graphic designs on my page are attentively created, with a minimalist approach and a dark academia, occultism, esoteric glow, for now, as I do not wish to limit my creative scope. As a graphic designer since 2008 who went through many style changes, right now it feels this is the most mature my content has ever been. 

Look forward to seeing where this concept takes me and what comes to life with it and through it.

Thank you for being here, I hope you feel inspired and hope you stay for the ride!
