Raw - I felt like I was stripping everything back—no overthinking, no polishing, just pure instinct. There was a tension between control and release, like I was letting something surface that had been buried. Parts of it felt almost violent—scraping, layering, breaking through—and then moments of quiet where I could see the form emerging.
It was both grounding and unsettling, like standing at the edge of something unfinished and being okay with not knowing exactly how it would resolve. Creating this piece was about honoring the mess, the contrast, and the beauty in what’s unrefined.
