It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time explores the complexities of decision-making and the delicate balance between knowledge and uncertainty. Every day, we face countless choices, ranging from minor to life-altering, each carrying its own weight of certainty and doubt. These decisions are shaped by what we know, what we think we know, and the vast unknown that lies beyond our understanding.

The piece delves into this dynamic, raising questions about how we navigate life's unpredictable terrain. What drives our choices? How do we reconcile moments when, despite our best intentions, things don’t unfold as planned? These silent considerations underpin every decision, and the artwork encourages viewers to reflect on those moments of clarity that later give way to doubt and hindsight.

Portraying the tension between intuition and knowledge, the piece captures two forces that often pull us in different directions. Intuition might inspire a leap of faith, while knowledge urges caution, grounding us in facts and logic. Yet even the most calculated decisions are marked by the inherent unpredictability of the future. In this way, the artwork reveals a universal truth: the act of deciding is, at its core, an exploration of the unknown, where certainty is never guaranteed.

The lines between perception and reality often blur, leaving us to grapple with the dissonance that arises from this complex interplay. Our minds, intricate and powerful, have the ability to conjure realities that we choose to inhabit—realities that sometimes clash with the truth of the world around us. This dissonance between perception and reality is at the heart of my work, “Disordered Thoughts”, which seeks to explore and illuminate these compelling tensions.

Perception is an enigmatic force, shaping our experiences and influencing our understanding of the world. It is through perception that we interpret and assign meaning to our surroundings. However, our perceptions are not always accurate reflections of reality. Instead, they are often colored by our emotions, memories, and biases, leading us to construct realities that may not align with the actual world.

This phenomenon raises an intriguing question: how often do we mistake our perceptions for reality? The mind's capacity to create illusions and distortions can lead us to believe in worlds that exist only within the confines of our thoughts. It is within this space of dissonance that the true complexity of perception unfolds.
