Made In California

Speaks on the glorious pop star dream studded California, or rather my quieter lonelier version of it. It addresses multiple levels of pain, ambition, desire of good and bad. It balances on the thin line of the love and bitterness I have when reflecting on it.

It does not speak ill of this “Glorious California” it only draws parallels/contradictions and acknowledges that it is not where I am from, nor is it where I am creating from.

I have been through my own pains. I have experienced my own version of California.

While California is the vessel through which these ideas are explored, the project is ultimately about who I am and why. It documents my ambition, my desires, my Love, my lust for Success, my bitterness and all else that torments me. It explores how where I am from has shaped those things and become inseparable from them.

I want to leave, yet It seems I am stuck in this place. Under this armor of authenticity that my surroundings have tried and tried to destroy, deep in the depths of my soul, I sometimes wish to stay, at times I wish to be swallowed by this Glamorous California.

The Conflict Is Not Simply Between Myself And A Place, But Between Myself And The Person That Place Has Made Me.

If only it gave me what I want I would stay forever, How Human.
