What is the main driving force behind your creative process ?

The main driving force of my creativity ? Probably the frequent episodic switches of my manic depression . I lack creativity when I ' m in a “ high ” cycle , yet I NEED to create when I ' m in a “ low ” cycle . It ' s like I ' m brushing myself out of depression . Either way , it ' s the one thing I am able to do to get better . This is why I don ' t expect anything from it . I know my limitations and capabilities , I don ' t need it to be perfect or to please anyone with it . Everything that comes afterwards is just a bonus , building my creative confidence .

What would you say are the main inspirations behind your work ?

My main inspiration is the universal existential loneliness of mankind , the playground of darkness and light that is in all of us . The glimpses of time when we see light , as a firefly or an explosion , but only temporarily . If I had to write a soundtrack to my images , it would be something eerily similar to Samuel Barber ' s Adagio for Strings . I also love working with Glitch . I am not sure if my pieces can be considered Glitch art or not , but Glitch art has definitely been an inspiration in some of my work .
