You stand at a point in time and space that will never exist again. This light, this moment, this particular confluence of experience and vision - it's already passing.
The work you can make today, you cannot make tomorrow. Tomorrow you'll be different. The world will be different. The conditions that exist right now - the resources you have, the ideas stirring, the way you see - they're temporary.
This isn't about waiting for better circumstances or perfect conditions. It's about recognizing that where you are, what you have, what you see from this exact vantage point - it's enough. It has to be enough, because it's what's real.
No one else occupies this point in time and space. Making art is how we mark our presence in time. It's how we say: I was here, in this place, at this moment. I saw this. I felt this. Did you?
This is where love stories develop between art and viewer. Not because the work captures perfection, but because it captures someone fully present, engaging with what was actually here. And that begins with you, now, in this moment that will never come again.
