Ikigai
'a reason for being'
This Japanese concept refers to what an individual defines to be the meaning of their life. The convergence of one’s personal passions, beliefs, values, and vocation.
I came across this concept while researching Japanese culture. This idea that individuals should strive to have a unique and meaningful purpose in life that drives their every experience is something that deeply resonated with me. We as humans seem to be eternally searching for something- purpose, success, money, beauty, etc. I think it’s important to reflect and remember what it is that makes you happy to be alive. What do you care about and how can you turn that into something positive to give to the world or yourself? That is the question and the concept of this site. I want to share my interests and my art, because creating community and finding beauty in the world is my Ikigai. I encourage you to be inspired and question yourself: what is your purpose today, and everyday?
