I’ll tell you a secret

For many years it was hard for me to accept the role of art in my life. It was hard to believe that I, too, am an artist. That had a huge impact on my projects: the lack of confidence, the low self-esteem, and the place I gave them in my life’s schedule.

As I grew older, that changed and I started to believe more; that allowed me to dare to try new things.

A couple of weeks ago I applied for a one-month artist residency in Yokohama. A few years ago I wouldn’t even have dreamed of the possibility—today I’m a different person.

I don’t know whether they’ll choose me or not. Regardless of the result, I feel like I’ve already won.

(On March 15 we’ll see.)
