In the past year, I found myself at a lot of different crossroads, both professionally, do I want to keep being an artist?, and personally, who am I if I stopped? This piece was fueled by one such quarter-life crisis where I struggled with feelings of who I am and want to become. ‘Contingency’ was born from a late-night revelation that no matter what the circumstances, I could no longer stay where I am; I had two options: go [back] to what I know or step forward into whatever comes [next].
