An ice cave found last summer during a solo exploration in BC. Over the years I have realized that pushing myself physically and mentally has a tremendous effect in grounding myself and clearing my mind. Pairing physical and mental exhaustion with being alone in the wilderness helps me eliminate the outside noise, gain clarity about who I am and therefore create art that is a better representation of myself. Pushing my limits helps gain personal confidence; by physically forcing myself to climb mountains and hike extremely long distances alone, the focus increases, the mental sharpens, and the body toughens. It helps me getting into that deep creative zone and let my brain wander, unfiltered but focused.
