Calistatus (kaləˈstā-təs)
The act of checking or adjusting to a standard for accuracy;
making fine adjustments, dividing into marked intervals for optimal
measurement of a person’s position at a particular time.
I have been trying to calibrate myself into an idealized standard that is
not my own. To break the confinement, I am striving to grow, to explore
toward a refined state of who I am.

Reflecting on watching Never Let me Go, already over 3 years ago since this photo.
Where does the time go?
“Everything passes. Nobody gets anything for keeps. And that’s how we’ve got to live. “
Haruki Murakami

Sept 2008? Acrylic on wall, sand, lipstick
On my bedroom wall in Georgia.. still work in progress? Haven’t decided yet..
I’ve had multiple responses from people back home, mostly they think I have some kind of issue with myself I have yet to resolve.
The parentals asked me, “How are we supposed to sell the house now??”
I was just an art student trying to relieve some of the tension.
Is it me or the eyes of the suburbs?
