WHY I MAKE

When I create, I feel powerfull. The ability to convoke feelings by creating matter with my own hands. Making is my way of thinking, my toughts evolve with me, so does my way of making. creating something new makes me feel alive in a way nothing else does. With every new skill I master I feel myself and my knowledge growing. I want to learn more, I want to learn everything. I like challenging myself, maybe I learn new things about my self and what my facinations are. I make to express myself, to get out what I feel inside. To show people who I am, or what I think I am. With making we connect ourselves to others, knowing that we like or hate the same things. Maybe we feel fascinated by them, or even intimidated. We often feel like we are alone in our emotions, when in fact a lot of people have felt the same way.

I want to discover every single molecule on this planet and further. I have questions, a lot of them, and they need answers for my to feel satisfied. knowledge is power, and I want it all. I grew up in a rather boring village, my grey surrounding stimulated me to make something better, more beautiful then this. I filled my house, the house block, the village square, and lastly the whole town with my ideas. Until everything was overgrown with art. But still, I hadn't had enough. I moved to the city and began a never ending journey.

I make to break and make my own rules. I like setting up rules for myself, can I do this? can I do this without this? Can I do this in this matter of time? But I also like breaking said rules, because art in a way doesn't obey the rules. Tell me why paper is only for drawing and painting, why is ink only for printing? I like to discover the different powers of those or any materials. I create to feel, or let people feel. I can take subjets with dark and painful meaning, but also make you feel in another world by creating matter like it's from another world.

I make to bringing my ideas to life. I'm a real perfectionist, there is always something to improve. This is my strength but also my weakness. I'm always eager to learn and evolve, but I'm never satisfied. I have trouble making things I expect to not work, but then again, wouldn't it be boring if you could predict the outcome of every project? I make to feel free. In my mind everything is possible, imagination can run freely and released from logic. How special that something from your mind can take a physical form. I make to feel good, alive or even oke, Without creating I feel empty, the ideas have died because there is no place for them to bloom. But when making, there is a whole garden filled with flowers.
