Happy Summer Solstice and Father’s Day!

• The grayness of everything is slowly fading away but it’s still there. Reading, writing, coding… they all feel drab these last few weeks. I attribute this to our upcoming apartment move. I hope I’ll be able to rekindle the fire within once we’ve moved.
• I spent ~10 hours in the studio working on the female torso. It’s not far from the finish. I also decided on the next two sculptures I want to make: a male arm holding a hammer and a full-size female leg. After these two I’ll allow myself to graduate from human anatomy and work on more abstract things.

• We watched Die My Love (2025). I’m adding it to the list of movies that provide a glimpse of the feminine psyche. I found a lot of parallels between Grace’s turmoil due to her creative block and my own relationship with creativity. I might want to explore this further in a future blog post.
• I don’t know why but on a whim I decided to create a personal Instagram account and connect with my friends there. I think something in me is trying to communicate an elevated need for connection.
• Speaking of connection, after a discussion on the future of our zine, I started to feel a strong urge to create a digital publication to collectively publish something periodically. I think this too stems from the same impulse.
• We saw a play called Fairfly which I really enjoyed. I wrote about it at length in another post.
