LIFE IS WORTH LIVING |
Series #4I AM WORTHY
This piece is a visual story centred around hardships, self worth and growth.
This year has taken us all on one wild rollercoaster and taught us all gratitude.
Sometimes in life we forget about the simple things.
How lucky we are to be alive, living and breathing through everyday life.
There is peace in knowing that each burden you may experience in only temporary.
While it may seem never ending and heavy to carry, remember, this too shall pass.
Sometimes we need to glance inwards, instead of endlessly pulling our focus towards what we perceive in the mirror.
Look at the hardships you face as opportunities to fight against the odds, persevere and grow-
Because your life and what you make of it, is yours for the taking.

WHEN THE PARTIES OVER, LOVELY |
Series #6I AM FREE
This piece is a visual story centred around strength, letting go & growth.
Creativity requires the courage to let go of things. Letting go does not mean you have given up. This process can be scary, but this means you are releasing the attachments of the past that keep clouding your mental clarity.
It takes pure strength to let go of the things we cannot change. When we can be ok with things having not gone a certain way, a new chapter begins. Making peace with the past opens you up to new adventures, new lessons and a new sense of freedom. Life is like a balloon, if you never let yourself go, you’ll never know how far you can rise.
Love,
K
