Fine Art Unit - Behind The Scenes - Inspiration


Inspiration "Divine guidance or influence exerted directly on the mind and soul of humankind."

Why Inspiration? For me Inspiration takes up a huge chunk of my thoughts on life. For me Inspiration is a source of hope in the most hardest of times, a source of happiness, love, forgiveness of yourself. Looking past all the negatives from your past and aiming for a positive, better future. Inspiration somewhat defines me as being Alice.

But to understand why certain things Inspire me, I have to look back into my past. 

 I suffered badly for anxiety attacks. They have controlled and been deciding how I live my life for the past ten years due to the fact that certain normal day-to-day things trigger them off. Throughout those years I've been living my life in 'what ifs' and the fear of having them, constantly thinking "I can't do that because I'll have a panic attack". But this year I've decided enough is enough. I want to not live with the fear of living anymore, instead, this year I've been pushing myself out of my boundaries and comfort zone to achieve what I want in life and Inspiration has helped me tremendously along the way. I still have a lot to achieve but everyday is a new beginning. 

I wouldn't be who I am today without my past and inspiration for today and I think this unit is the perfect opportunity to express myself in ways I've never done before.
