When you try to do a something over and over again but never manage to get there. When trying is simply just thinking about doing it. When the thinking leads to overthinking. When the overthinking and the trying create heavy bricks and the heavy bricks build a giant wall of impossibility. But when you stand back and admire the solid wall you can see how hard you’ve tried, how deeply you’ve thought and how tightly each brick holds the next in an embrace of solidarity and kindness. There is a calmness in the impossibility. Maybe.

This piece is now up on the wall at @umbertoespressobar if you would like to pop in or purchase! I loved creating this piece. I disliked trying to photograph it! Feels kind of poetic that the colours proved impossible to capture 😉
