Today, I’m feeling grateful for taking the time to plan my next series of work for 2026.
The past period has not been easy. I went through moments of disappointment that left me feeling jaded and lost, questioning many things about the art world and my place within it. Those experiences shook my confidence and made me pause in ways I did not expect.
I chose to go into a kind of hibernation for a few months. I stepped back to rethink, reassess, and regroup how my art career should move forward. That quiet time, though uncomfortable at moments, was necessary. It gave me space to strip away noise, expectations, and external voices.
What became clear is this: no one can walk this path for me. No one can decide what is right or meaningful for my work except myself. I have to listen to and trust my own intuition, my own values, and my own moral compass.
I also realised something important about myself. I am not someone who can be easily manipulated or brainwashed. I think deeply, question openly, and ultimately choose what aligns with me. That awareness feels grounding and empowering.
Now, as I step out of that quiet phase, I do so with renewed clarity. I hope to create more work that truly resonates with me, work that feels honest, intentional, and rooted in who I am today. I’m grateful for the lessons, the pause, and the courage to begin again with deeper self trust.
This feels like a gentle but meaningful turning point.
