REMOTE STUDIO SPECS

For so long, life had been quantified—and oftentimes limited—by that conundrum. It wasn’t for lack of trying: picking up every hobby, hitting every societal mile-stone, in hopes that I would discover my answer along the way. Instead, adulthood be-came… cyclical. Boring.

And honestly, when does that even happen? ‘Adulthood?’ I still don’t feel like an adult—simultaneously eight, fifteen, twenty-two, and thirty, trapped in a body forced to age due to the relentless and indifferent passage of time. 

So perhaps the best course of action is to stay a child. To live within animation and games, in photographs where I get to don any outfit and try on other lives. In cartoons and adventure novels and any other form of escapism I can lay my hands on.

Thus, I forgo the question entirely, and instead turn to what I know: a disc spinning in its console, a worn controller in hand, familiar and anticipatory in equal measure—and just like that, an entirely new story unfolds before me. With it: my answer.
