"The Long Now," I distill my journey's essence: the realization that the present moment is not a mere transient tick of time, but rather, a dense junction of past experiences and future possibilities. This concept of 'The Long Now' signifies a profound awareness, where each moment we live is a bridge connecting our historical identity with the seeds of our future selves.

Within this expansive 'now', I find the freedom from restrictive social constructs that once felt suffocating. It's in this spacious present that I discover the liberty to continuously evolve, to travel not just through physical spaces but through the realms of thought and existence. Each new place, each new experience becomes a crucible where old judgments dissolve and new perspectives are born.

As I move through this ever-expanding 'now', I engage in a cycle that mirrors the natural transitions of water: from solid (ice) to liquid (water), and then to gas, only to return in a renewed form. This cyclical transition embodies my journey—a ceaseless flow between states, places, ages, and even breaths. It's in this unending movement where the consistency of liminality, the threshold of transformative experiences, becomes my guiding light, leading me through the passages of self-discovery and artistic expression.
