Description
Throughout my life, the only thing I've felt was an absolute constant, was the concept of change.
And it usually happens when I least expect it to. As soon as I get comfortable with a new living situation, daily habit, a general way of living my life, everything does a 180, and I'm in a totally new situation that I have no choice but to adapt to.
This was definitely the case during 2017. I had been in the music scene for a few years up until that point, working for a music blog, writing articles and reviews of new musical releases, playing guitar full time, making content and trying to grow my audience, I was all in on music, no doubt. And then in the summer of that year, right around the time I was graduating from high school, health issues knocked me off the path that, at the time, I was convinced was leading me to a successful career.
Those health issues consumed so much of my life for almost 2 years. I could barely eat as much as I needed or wanted to, I had to make a lot of lifestyle changes, and ultimately had to grow up real fast in order to learn to deal with this new way of living. It also forced me to come to terms with how burnt out I was subconsciously becoming when it came to being a full time musician.
For a year after that, I didn't want to touch my guitar, or even listen to music. After recovering and healing from my health issues, I eventually learned to enjoy it again, but things were much different now. I felt very lost, both creatively and career wise. I fell into a deep depression, and would spend most of my days alone, getting high, eating junk food, hiding in my room and playing video games.
After awhile I started working in marketing, but still felt so lost, felt like I wasn't doing anything meaningful or impactful with my life. This went on for about a year. Then covid happened, and I once again, had a lot of time on my hands. And for awhile, I had wanted to try photography, so I took this free time as an opportunity to start learning how to shoot. And quite honestly, I don't know if I'd be in as good of mental and physical health like I am today, if it I hadn't decided to jump into a new creative pursuit.
Looking back on my life so far, I've recently realized how many changes I've gone through, even in the last five years. It's been A LOT. Just in the last two and a half years alone, I've become a full time artist once again, managed to sell my art and sustain myself by doing so, meet some of the most creative and inspiring people imaginable, and get into a relationship with someone that I now am creating art with.
"Change is the Only Constant" is a photography composite + digital painting piece created with my significant other, after we had a long conversation about this very topic one night in the summer of 2023.
We've known each other for over 8 years now, but started dating two years ago. And I can say for certain that she has been one of the best changes in my life, without a doubt. I've never felt more inspired to create than I do when we're making art together. And this piece is one of our many representations of that.
