Let Me Tell You About the Time I Almost Quit

An immersive exploration of the mental, emotional, and creative battles that nearly ended it all. This exhibit transforms a Gallery into a living maze—symbolizing the chaotic synopsis of my brain when doubt, fear, perseverance, and rediscovery has taken over. Featuring 10 deeply personal works, each piece reveals a chapter of struggle, survival, and self-realization.
This is more than art on walls—it’s a journey through burnout, imposter syndrome, financial strain, emotional wounds, and ultimately, the power of remembering why we begin in the first place.
