Becoming

I started my creative career alongside the rise of social media. In many ways, the two have always been intertwined. It is where I shared my first work, found an audience, met collaborators and documented projects as they slowly became part of my creative life.

Over time, though, I found it harder to share.

Social media increasingly began to feel like a collection of chasing things: achievements, beautiful moments, announcements and lives seemingly moving from one success to the next. I started feeling less inspired by it, because it left out the part I have always known to be true — that most things, meaningful things, take time. That’s it’s not the chase but the journey that you’re proud of.

Becoming is my way of returning to social media differently.

Instead of only showing where I have arrived, I want to document what happens on the way there. The ideas that work and the ones that don't. The periods of momentum and the periods of doubt. Changing direction, starting again, learning something, making something slowly and sometimes not knowing what comes next.

It is, in some ways, the opposite of influencer culture. Not a version of life shaped into a continuous highlight reel, but an ongoing creative record of a life still unfolding.

A journey of becoming an artist, a writer, a mother, a creative — and, ultimately, becoming more myself.

Not the before and after.

Everything in between.
