To survive your own war, you need to be inspired.

"We, as artists constantly strive for perfection, we live life on the edge, unsure where life will lead us, we live life in the moment, achieve and move on to the next thing, the constant strive to do something new and unique, we want to be noticed yet we want to hide ourselves, our lives are a contradiction and yet we question everything. We are yet to realize that the happy things in life come from imperfection. We fail to notice the things in life that truly matter – it’s not the money, fame, the image we hide ourselves under, it’s the people around us, the energy and warmth of those we love. It’s being able to live in a beautiful world and appreciating that we are living.

Feeling unsettled is what makes us as artists uneasy, but it’s that mere thought that
 makes me push harder, breathe faster and want more in life. I want to show
the world what I can capture – beauty, emotions, dreams.. these are all things
 we strive for in life and we can’t live without one or the other.

Our thoughts and emotions control our life. We are constantly searching for better, to make ourselves better, to control everything around us – yet reality gets in the way of dreams. 

Life is a constant echo of what we had and lost. Memories exist to keep us human; to remember is as much as it is to forget. We lose touch with ourselves and are so keen to move on but memories keep us grounded, unsolved and help us remember who we are and where we came from. My photography enables me to capture memories, milestones; whether in fashion, style or age. (Lara Jade, 2010)"
