On Coincidence and Voice

My work—written and visual—is not reactive. It is not borrowed. It does not arise from imitation. It comes from lived experience, from discipline, and from an interior language that can’t be manufactured or reverse-engineered.

Creation, for me, is not about echoing trends or circling others’ expressions. It’s about responding to life in real time—honestly, and without pretense.

This isn’t a defense. It’s a declaration. A timestamp. A quiet assertion that truth in art doesn’t need to shout—it just endures.

I don’t create to compete. I create to witness and stay in rhythm with something real.

m.c.f.
