“My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. […]. I’m two, and both keep their distance”-Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Make art about restlessness, about disquiet.
