Make lots of memories and cherish them.

I make things, above all else, in order to express and share my memories.

For the vast majority of my life, I have remembered most things I've experienced and places I've been. The vividness of those memories and spaces are something I hope to never lose and to always appreciate. I remember many things, and I would like you to recall them too.

In recent years, I've found my memory becoming a little more hazy. I hate the feeling. A long span of depressive and dissociative episodes have only reinforced that I want to further catalogue and preserve my thoughts and feelings from as much of my life as possible. I would like to recover from this haze. Making more art, I think, is probably a great way to do that.
