Self Restraint/Freedom

“When presented with this collaboration, I couldn't refuse the opportunity to explore these emotions and create a visual series with a truly talented photographer and dear friend. Many of us find ourselves struggling with the same recurring negative thoughts or the ever so common "I'll be happy when..." statement. It's easier than ever to spiral down this pattern with constant external pressures, social networking and media. When we are actually able to visualize the impact of our own self-restrictions it has a deeper influence on the mind. We all deserve happiness from the inside - out, by taking time to enjoy the things we love and being kind to ourselves along the way. Over this past year such has been my personal journey - freeing myself of self-doubt, criticism and blame, I’ve started to explore the true beauty of life and happiness.”
