Description

“We broke to let the light in. Broke to let it out. Broke and waited for the right thing to fill tired skins out. We broke to break and broke to heal. Broke to feel alive and broke to just feel. Broke to humble and we broke to build. Broke to take. Broke to give. Broke to forget and broke to fix. From fixing we learned and from learning came life. Came reasons to go and more reason to try. But more than that, from breaking we know that though we shed, we can always regrow. Always reseed. Always restart. This is the natural process of a heart.”

― Sophia Thakur

Welcome to my 2024 staff sale! Gosh it's been a while.

We can't always tell the difference between the phantom pains of loss and growing pains. Sometimes the two go hand in hand: we tear off pieces of ourselves and find things to fill the empty spaces left behind with. It seems both the body and the mind already know that sometimes feeling anything at all is better than feeling nothing. This esk was created out of my phantom pains, and my way of trying to make sense with a new reality and learning to live while missing a part of myself, but I hope you all can find a piece of yourselves in this design.

For the nature and original form, you can choose between keeping the suggestions as-is or coming up with your own: I would love if you were to choose a keepsake of your choosing, a memento that, although maybe no longer perfect, maybe a little torn or chipped or tarnished, is still something you've never been able to let go of because of the meaning it holds. A torn picture, a dropped sculpture, a faded train ticket, a gift from a friend you no longer talk to. Whatever you choose, whether it is something personal to you or a story you'd like to tell, or leaving the ID as-is, there is no wrong answer. I just hope you enjoy my work and find something in it that speaks to you!

What growth are you hoping for?
