Each and every moment is brimming with the energy of an infinite number of potential futures and all futures are just a string of present moments. What you do with those moments shapes who you are and the universe around you.
I often become so enamored with those possible futures that I forget to connect to the moment, but making art puts me right back in the present, simultaneously tranquil and bristling with energy. It lets me see who I am and my path forward better than scanning the horizon ever has.
