The struggle of every artist worth the time you spend standing, looking at the wall:

There is simply too much I want to convey in my work. My desire for a better, more just world. Infinite curiosity. A childlike wonder sheathed in the veneer of an adult’s sophistication and cynicism. Pure awe at the majesty and science of the Earth and the universe. A restless thirst for adventure. The integral connection between humanity and every other lifeform on this planet.

I wish I could boil down that feeling of fear and awe—that feeling of being so incredibly minuscule in the midst of this vast, unknowable universe. The suffocating, terrifying wonder of a body trying to comprehend the incomprehensible.

I wish I could remind my adult viewers of the reckless, fearless curiosity they once had.
