Ever so often, a tree will leave the forest that it once knew for a journey. Reshaping riverbanks, building ecosystems and even crossing oceans, it’ll surrender itself to be weathered and transformed into DRIFTWOOD.

I believe we all experience moments in life that uproot us. Some stay in place to rebuild and grow. Others like myself? We find the flow and slip downstream, allowing the here and now to sculpt our characters, scraping away our own hubris against the vastness of the Universe.

And it’s in those razor thin edges, between shadowy nostalgia and the luminous unknown, where we find beauty and purpose should we bother to linger. Where the closest of friendships are born and the brightest of experiences are held. Those delicate moments are precious; it’s what we value and carry from one place to the next.

For seafaring driftwood, it’s said that its fate ultimately awaits at the bottom of the deep blue. One day I’ll leave these coastlines too, subject to life’s currents. But until such a time comes… I exist in the polychromed edges, to be marked by the slippage of time, savouring the glimmering details that too often go unnoticed.
