The Philosophy

“Follow your dreams” is a phrase we’re all familiar with, one that we are always told yet never seem to follow. It is a saying that nurtures the spout growing between the gaps of cracked concrete, only for it to wither away after growing beyond the sidewalk, dried up by the sun and trampled over by remorseless feet. Stuck in an endless cycle of not being able to do the things we dream of doing, being confined to the things only bringing status or wealth to our lives, our aspirations often stay abstract, existing in thought only, and wanted, but not able to be conceived. However, opportunities to break free exist, chances to embed yourself into the cracks of the cement. And it is only when creative feelings have been bottled up for so long that they can produce the most heartfelt pieces, ones that are the most concrete of all.​​
