Almost Got Lost in a Dream

During my early 20’s I felt wholly overwhelmed by the pain I carried within me and helplessly disillusioned by the systems of the world around me. After graduating from undergrad, I felt directionless, burnt out and unmotivated to move towards any of the career options laid out before me. I coped with this by diving headfirst into art making for the next year without any real plan or goal and simply allowing myself to escape into a fantastical world of visual euphoria. This collection of works was born out of that.
