Fine Art
This involves artworks from my personal art practice. It mainly involves pieces hand drawn using mediums like charcoal, graphite, ink and coloured pencils
” The hammer’s path is determined by what will be and not what was.”
Context: Reflect on the past but don’t let them hold onto you. One’s actions are concrete and can’t be reversed. The stone fractures when the hammer strikes the chisel, but no matter how many times the hammer is used, the stone will not regrow. Reflecting on the past is important, but you shouldn't let it control your reality.
