Our need to create, and our desire for what has been created, is a powerful and deep pull. We were all born creative, it is our natural instinct of self expression. To create and to collect fulfills a natural desire for beauty, purpose and meaning: giving rise to our survival, both physical and emotional.
Our built environment is a creative landscape, perpetuating our need for more, the new and the fast, while in contrast, creating a desire for less: solitude and silence.
This is our ongoing dismay, our creativity collapsing on itself, under the weight of searching for who we are.

“Our need for more has dulled our light, now showing a future we did not expect.”
It is my constant need of late to find fulfillment that has me question our creativity, or more precisely its role in our contemporary living, as we push forward, building the future unknown. While we desire beauty in all its deeper meaning, it is our addictions to the new that overshadows our desires to create, and all that beauty brings. Our need to create is now a cycle of distraction, rather than personal fulfillment of instinct: consumerism over self expression. Our need for more has dulled our light, now showing a future we did not expect.
While having our thumb on government, it is our creativity that will be our survival. Not perfect, but a way forward as we find who we are, or create who we need to be: living life as it comes, a future we desire.
