92 quality work and striving to make a significant impact with E D I T É U one R PLU S my work day. I possess a strong eye for detail which on a negative side my work could take a little bit longer to finish because I want it to be perfect, also knowing, there is no such thing as perfect. Sometimes I mess up because of that little thing I wanted to fix that was bothering me, only to realize I should’ve left it the way it was. Whereas through Design or Digital Art I can just undo with a touch of a button, with a piece of painted art I don’t just have a button, I have to wait a little longer before I can fix it again. Such is life, you cannot just undo, you have to wait for the right moment for it to be fixed, yet it’ll never be as perfect as the first time you had it, just knowing that you can only move forward by working to improve it from there on.

For everything in this journey of life we are on, there is a right wing and a left wing: for the wing of love there is anger; for the wing of destiny there is fear; for the wing of pain there is healing; for the wing of hurt there is forgiveness; for the wing of pride there is humility; for the wing of giving there is taking; for the wing of tears there is joy; for the wing of rejection there is acceptance; for the wing of judgment there is grace; for the wing of honour there is shame; for the wing of letting go there is the wing of keeping. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance. Two beautiful wings are perfec- tion. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race. I’ve come to love the things in life, not by finding something perfect, but by learn- ing to see something imperfect, perfectly. EDITÉUR PLUS / THE SIXTEENTH ISSUE
