For me Einstein was a great philosopher, who said it best when he said 'Its all relative'

Its like..we, each one of us, is a blank canvas. We choose to cover our canvas with a multitude of colours. Some of us chosing greys and navy blues. Others choose hot pinks and acid yellows. Myself, I love bright colours and prints. No neons. No black.
And underneath it all we are the same.
I get that.
But in the nature of the world we live in, flexing our intellect has become very important. We cant just be. We have come to associate silence and quiet with being mundane

If only people would just stop and smell the flowers literally, there would never be any reason to be bored. Nature is amazing and, in a sense they have become the foremost intelligent be-ings on this planet.
I just want to share this because I want to lead people into falling in love with nature, all over again.
Like, I remember seeing snow for the first time as a kid, and loving my mum so much becasue she led us to this wonderful, magical white stuff in the park. White stuff that upon taste wasnt salt, but something cold...and wet.
It wasnt until the sun had completely set that my brothers and I realised that our fingers and toes had gone numb. We had being so enraptured.

I am hoping to come up with an art installation based on my manifesto
As well as coming up with multimedia installations and design concepts, fusing nature with product designs, I want to look at semantics.

For instance, the fact that we say 'It is raining means we are creating a very subtle classification process. Whereby we refer to something, as alive as nature, as an It..an object. This is bound to make us feel far removed from it. And we tend to feel much more superior intellectually, and instinctively than all objects we encounter. Whereas, in this case it is not the case at all. Most plants and animals could, hands-down, kick my ass in both senses, for sure!

Anyway, I waffle. I'm just excited that I have found my niche. And found something I believe in and have a passion for.
