Amor Fati, the love of fate. This is my honest approach to creating. My fate is to create and live the life of the artist. To me, this fate is more than determination. It is beyond predestination. It is an assurance, a divine will that reaches beyond my understanding. It brings forth a true confidence regarding my call and role as an artist. My fate is to create. I must create and create effortlessly. This is not a burden, this is not Adam's curse. This is my true element where I breathe and move effortlessly in the most familiar home, where I can move around without opening my eyes.

I remember my blind great grandmother. I had no idea that she was blind. She moved around effortlessly in her enormous house and lived a full life. I see her cooking and lighting the stove, reaching for the spices. It was a great confidence within her limits. This was her art. Embracing her limitations.

As an artist I must do the same. I embrace my limitations and move effortlessly. Finding home, love, companion and a common ground to share my honest self. Through images and colors. Through words and gestures. This is an offering that serves as a sacred bridge between you and I. Amor Fati, the great blessing.
