You create from fear. For almost as long as you can remember, you have been terrified. There is a near constant panic in your chest that threatens to leave you completely petrified. Your art is an attempt to confront what frightens you most, to face it head on rather than always continuing to run away. It is a battle, your best effort at fighting back against the fear filling your chest. You create art about what scares you in order to steel yourself against it. There are easier and more pleasant things to create art about, but you don't want to let your fear rule you, so you force yourself to give it an audience through your work. You depict your worst nightmares so that they won't take up so much space in your mind. Art is a safe place to come to terms with everything that makes you feel unsafe.
