Hint, don't show

November 19, 2019 in journal

I try to add as much mystery as I can in my images. I want them to be on the edge between reality and dreams, if you will: the viewer decides what they are looking at.

I often wonder if by sharing so much of my process (YouTube, Instagram stories...) I might be destroying part of that mystery.

Should I retreat into the shadows and share only the final image? Or should I keep sharing my journey as a way to inspire others?

I believe there's a balance to be found here as well: hint, don't show; inspire, don't keep it to yourself. You'll find me out there, looking for such harmony.
