"After years of Behemoths emerging FROM the Ocean to wreak havoc, Cedric decides the sea needs to see how it feels."

Let it go
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know?
The hardest part is over


This picture not only is summer themed, It's also linked to personal experiences of mine. I was born in a town next to the sea, my family always used to say (and still do) that the sea is always mine and its an essential part of my existance. I've moved away from there when I was 3 y/o, and in summer vacations, holidays or anytime I had the chance to go there, It's always healing to me and there is a big opportunity for some meditation and introspection of the stuff I've been dealing with.


Let it in
Let your clarity define you;
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels


I must confess. This was a real emotional trainweck of a summer. Having already 2 depressive episodes and shit that kept held my art and way of living. Thank god I still managed to wake up the next day and feel completely different and new and better. This month wasn't exactly my best month, neither the month I touched bottom per se, it was just that a lot of shit happened to me in this year, both happy and sad. I lost people on the road, been real torn down and found out my depression was even bigger than I thought, but at the end of the day it was light that made me feel better. The sea was always welcoming me to go and be part of that bond I had when I was born. The sea is conceiling, It's healing and It's always there. I never had such an experience as the moment before doing this piece.


Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain


I never had a true moment I was alone with myself, the real me. It was such a magical moment and very needed for the sake of my growth and inner peace. I am thankful for the Friends I made on the road, the families I met and whitnessed its growth, and every single moment lived through my life and helped building the man I am now


All of my regret
Will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget
The way I feel right now
