Page by Page.

Memory by Memory.


If you've never destroyed your own work (i.e.; a piece of yourself) then I don't expect you to understand.

For those of you who do understand.. thank you.

I feel burning is more appropriate. Like a funeral pyre.

Plus if I just threw them out, they'd still exist, wouldn't they? Then I might as well just give them to the person I was meaning to give them to in the first place.

No. I did not want this book to continue to exist.

It all comes down to creation and utter destruction. ;]

most everything from high school is in ashes.

I wish I had kept some of it though to have proof I have improved.

This reminds me of a phoenix, burning to ashes.
One can hope new creativity may arise from the ashes of old. . .

It's a creative way to show the process of destruction, though I do feel a bit bad for all those pages of art. If it's a bold statement of self criticism, I think you captured that very well. I do understand that feeling, thank you for sharing such a personal photo.

Its something i have contimplated many times but have not yet brought myself to do.
I could see myself releasing from certain memories.
I suppose i havent come accross something i wanted to part with that badly.

I have thought of doing a more right here right now method.
Taking a 24 hour period to fill a sketch book as fast as i can with every thought I have been afraid to express on paper then burning at the end.
Still awaiting the right time.
