— To be a creator is to exist in this delicate paradox: lauded for one's work yet endlessly dissected for one's persona.

Attention rarely seeks the creator; it is captivated by the version they have conjured in their minds.

— From time to time, the lines between the art and the artist blur. Messages arrive tinged with fantasy; attempts to shape me into something I am not.

It is always fascinating how perception seeks dominion over reality, how imagination overtakes truth. —
