Ah vacation! It's wonderfully rejuvenating and exhausting all at once, haha!! Maybe it's the fact that I'm introverted and vacations usually involve more social time. And as an introvert, even though I really do love people, I also find it very draining to be in social situations. So this for this week's video, I'm choosing to honour how I'm feeling physically and I'm keeping my process simple. Geologic abstracts are easy and meditative for me to create and a little simplicity and zen is exactly what I need right now.
