Sometimes you have to get it a little wrong before you get it right

Unintentionally motivated only by feelings, I am losing myself a bit in emotional images on my way to finding the trigger that excite me and help me build up an inspiration board... not a simple matter...

I need to find a balance between being driven by feelings (and then I'm attracted to images that their only connection to the subject sometimes is just my emotions) and visual inspirations...

Outside vs Inside































I'll keep on working on it....

"One day I found a big book buried deep in the ground"


One day I found a big book buried deep in the ground"
I opened it, but all the pages were blank
and to my surprise, it started writing itself
One day, I found a big book buried deep in the ground



I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the Whirl

Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love is a two way dream

Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me 
I'm your one way street 

I'm a whisper in water
Secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

Leave me now, return tonight
The tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder hand
"I'm the branch that you break
Bjork - Bachelorette/
