the flower of the lemon tree is fragrant and sweet, the fruit is bitter, potent and nourishing.

art created during hard times is necessary for the artist. it doesn't have to be narcissistic, its merely a method of moving energy creatively, to make a new act, to extend, or find some amazing space inside.

the gift is to see things differently, and to be able to express that.
