Talking abot my life ^^ - breaking the rule




 i've always had a thing for stories where the main character writes a blog about her daily life, and somehow a whole world of gossip builds around it. It doesn't really match my punk look or attitude, but that's just how I am love documenting my life.

I'm still a photographer after all

Not much to write about today nothing special, almost dull. Funny thing is, the photography exercise I'd completely forgotten about actually triggered a pretty interesting thought process.

breaking the rules (yes...REALY PUNK IL LOVE THAT)

Long story short, today the lecturer went over the importance of the “golden ratio” lesson of  photography 1.1, praticaly ABC. It made me wonder: if the golden ratio exists to communicate harmony, why shouldn't we aim for the opposite?

Why not embrace chaos?

Now, if you know me at all, you know I couldn’t stop there. I started arguing with myself about what could possibly justify breaking such an important rule. And the answer was one.

 The big, final answer.

 Art.

Voluntary mistakes: that thin line that separates an idiot from an artist. And even though I’d already been applying this idea, I’d never realised it so clearly before.

Everything in me was already living by this rule. My coloured sideburns, the dread at the back of my head, even the skirt over my trousers 

 it was all a statement. Now I know why. And I wish all of you the freedom to be artists, even just a little.


I’d be lying if I said this reflection was entirely mine, born just from forgetting an assignment.

Coincidentally, during the break, my friend Flavia told me about how the gyaru identity is rooted in the rejection of Japan’s rigid social rules.

So thank you to her, and thank you to you, for reading. ^^
