Protecting My Peace
Editorial for Local Wolves Magazine, Issue 61.
I’ve reached a certain age where I’ve learned to set up boundaries in order to protect my peace. My oasis of paradise. In my current state of mind, time is precious. There’s only so much time to figure out what you want to do in life or how you want to make an impact. Every minute counts. I’ve even been so lucky to be surrounded by love romantically, platonically, and familially. I want to enjoy every moment with everyone who matters while also paving a career path in the fashion space. I’m currently a photographer based in New York City, and I enjoy every single second of it. From meeting so many multifaceted and talented creatives of all kinds to being able to create the best work of my life that will keep elevating as I grow into myself and my work. As each experience goes by, I become better than who I was before. Everything I’m trying to put out into the world is from my love and enjoyment of life. All in all, I’ll do everything to guard myself from negative energy which can come in any shape or form. So if and when it does come up, instead of engaging, I’m going to be protecting my peace while figuring my life out.
In this photo set, Fairy is taking a stroll in the night as the fireflies creep on. You, the viewer, are curious about what you’ve just encountered. You’re looming over them and infiltrating them with uninviting questions about their life. It’s having to protect its peace against unwanted energy. Same thing.
