As creatives, we are constantly pressured to push past creative burnout. Our art gets confined into boxes of what is marketable, and we get pushed to pursue quantity over quality. I often find myself feeling crushed by the weight of what I could achieve, rendering me immobile to procrastination and, therefore, stagnation. I procrastinated writing this. Not because I did not feel passionate about what I was creating, but because it is hard to put into words the struggle of working against exhaustion when it comes to my art. I often feel the push and pull between the fast industry demands and my desire to create something slowly, with care. Therefore, I explored that feeling of confinement for this series and found the delicate beauty that remains within it.
