Observational Art Photography
I feel frustrated with working 6-7 days a week at the moment.
I’m trying to take photos everyday again.
Making art gives me that distance away from thinking about my self-confidence, worrying about if I’m good enough.
It feels like being suspended in the place I go to when I sleep. I make something that seems familiar, or something what I want to see.
And having my photos small & accessible to me is like having one’s keys in their pockets. I like to go back and visit. My worlds, my collection of artifacts.
