Fifteen years is a real span. The fact that you still want to share it says something about what it held for you then, and maybe what it still holds now.

I have only been sharing my drawings since the end of August this year, and I scanned a part of my drawings. So I’m sharing with you the new pieces as well as my old drawings. I see that these shapes haunt me, but more importantly that the same shapes can be developed into many universes despite everything. You just have to dare.

That recurring form across so many worlds is the real find. Means you've landed on something that actually matters to you.

Fifteen years gives you distance most of us don't get while a piece is still around. Holding onto something that long means it survived every move, every clear-out, every moment you could have let it go.
I don't like throwing things away in general, but even less when it's something I've made. As of today, I've never tried to sell my drawings, so they are kept in a piece of furniture. I was told that I shouldn't keep them to myself but show them, and it took me a long time before I felt confident enough to do it. I tell myself that it might be interesting to show them here, regardless of the judgments.
Keeping them in a drawer for fifteen years and then finally showing them, that's not hesitation, that's the work earning its moment. The confidence was already there.
I’m so glad you’re sharing your work with us! I get the hesitation, we have so many doubts to work through.
