I was offered an artist residency and will be travelling to Switzerland in a few weeks. This is my first time 
being given such an amazing opportunity and I feel blissfully grateful.

For 3 weeks I will be exploring a beautiful alpine 
village and its surrounding scenery, but also having a chance to rediscover my self and my art. 

After many years as a photoartist I have felt a bit 
lost this last year and a half. Periodically experimenting with different ways to move forward. Including dabbling with both 3D and AI for a short while.
In the end, I am realizing that I need to go back to my core process of creating. I need to really connect with my art, on a deep and personal level. In a way that feels meaningful to me. Creating for my own sake, from within, without concern for the outcome. Like I did before.

This residency could not have come at a better time. 
With this news I was instantly placed in a mindset of joy, inspiration and eagerness to discover what this gift will bring for me and my artistic journey. In a sence it feels like the journey has already started.

With this nft you are collecting one of my personal favourite pieces and at the same time contributing to this journey I am about to take.

"Awakening" is a self portrait based piece from 2017. 
I chose this because it symbolizes transformation.
