I just was like, I'm excited about this.

I want to share this.

The most important thing to me that I'm practicing every day is really just exploring my own understanding of life and love and who we are as human beings.

What comes as a result, I think, I'm coming from a place of privilege here, but I've had now quite a lot of fun projects.

And

It's so cliched.

Everybody says it, but the end result is actually not what it's about.

It's the journey you've gone on to do that project or even just the process of making that project is much more fulfilling because you can remember the hours on the table, the hours spent writing email, exchanging emails about a project or making the work itself.

That's what you go back and remember.

I never understood it.

Until right now, where we're coming up to installing this exhibition, I'm like, oh, all of the hours spent developing this work and having meetings and talking about it, it was the fun stuff.

What people are going to say about it or react to it, I'm excited to hear it, but it's not something that's important.

A pursuit of the next, yeah.

I would like to talk about, real quick, you mentioned about questioning oneself and imposter syndrome, right?

It robs you of being in the present.

It robs you of being in the now, asking, am I doing the right thing?

Just be.

Another thing I've been doing is following the fun, which is it, which helps you be in the present, right?

I've done these paintings now for quite a while.

I've had this opportunity in the new exhibition to explore some sculptural works.
