M&M
2023
M&M. 8.5” x 11” gouache on paper.
October 2023—I’d been feeling kinda meh in regards to play; and kinda stuck to be frank. Even though I have select materials I’m always thinking about creating with, it’d been a while since I allowed myself to fool around with others. I looked in my closet, took out the first piece of paper I saw, and sourced some paints I hadn’t touched since—I believe... 2018—and let myself wander for a bit. At a glance, I chuckled at how it ended up looking like an assortment of mini M&Ms, my favorite.

Imagine trying to curate your life. 8.5” x 11” mixed media.
“Imagine trying to curate your life.” — a thought I jotted down in September of 2022. The thought stemmed mainly from the assumption that it must be so exauhsting trying to play a part—be a facade—exist for aesthetics—etc. In person or online, I came to realize that whether we realize it or not, we’re all curated in some way, by something, by someone—for everyone. From here, I thought about ten things that’ve curated my sense of self over the last few years of my life, and reflected on their varying importance in my existence.
