How do you hold to your identity close? How do you as an artist and more importantly, a human being, protect yourself from the outside voices of doubt, fear or regret? What does true, radical self love look like? My piece “Self Preservation” attempts to explore the sanctity of solitude and the calm that comes from being alone without ever feeling lonely. I remember reading a quote somewhere years ago that stated "either we go within, or we go without”
