Through Childlike Eyes
expression
and connection
Visual art is not something I have played with much. I have always been a writer at heart, using diaries and journals as my medicine for as long as I can remember.
Yet, I've always loved the way life synced up to music. Earbuds on the school bus would turn the passing trees and streets into a more magical world. It made me feel like I could slip into a different dimension, like I'd found a corner of perception that was hidden and sacred.
These moments are everywhere. The practice of capturing and arranging these beautiful parts of life feels like a celebration of everything that continually inspires me to keep going.
This video is for the people, places, and events that have carved me into who I am. The family that has raised me, and the friends that have laughed and cried with me. Thank you for supporting and giving me everything I've ever needed to flourish. I love you.

“Sometimes I try to imagine what it would be like to live through childlike eyes again. An everlasting state of wonder and awe. Emotions that are expressed as quickly as they’re felt. And an appreciation for the small things that we tend to overlook with age. The way we see things is changing- and we are demanding a different kind of life. One that puts value of experience and love over anything superficial. Souls have no pockets. I’m not leaving here with a thing. Only the energy I’ve given, and what’s been given back. And if that’s the case- I’m leaving with a lot.”
