I've spent the last few weeks thinking I will wake up and it's all gone. That everything was an elaborate dream, that my first solo show never happened. The works were all figments of my imagination that never came true. I never got up that one day, put on a suit and red lipstick and headed to my first ever solo exhibition opening.
And every time this creeps into my mind I have to remind myself of every deeply personal interaction I've had with people because of my work. People coming up to talk to me about my work, asking me what it means, telling me what they saw in it. People telling me they feel seen, that I've inspired them to create again and to take up space.
I can dream all I want that this was an imagined effort, but I cannot make up the overwhelming support and love that people have expressed.
For that I want to thank every single person that visited and saw my exhibition during its stay in @101.dump.gallery
Thank you for the overwhelming and unconditional love and support from my family and friends. A special thank you to my parents, without who's seemingly never ending love and support, none of this would have been possible
Thank you everyone, truly and incredibly from the deepest crevices of my pulpy heart.
Till next time ❤️🩹🫂
Big thank you for the awesome photos @theofrostphotography !

The Destination for my Annual Birthday trip was Florence this year. I'm now 21, obsessed with Sade and maybe believing in fate or karma or happy coincidences again 💋
Missing Otto and Ollie so I gathered my fav picks of them :) thank you again for everything ❤️🩹
Considered putting the second pic as the first pic so this would look like an obituary post but the framing wouldn't have worked 🙄
