Just Keep Building (2024)

“Just Keep Building” is meant to symbolize that there will be people who will doubt you, who won’t believe in you, and try to tear down anything you set your mind to. But through all that, you keep building your stance no matter how many times they destroy it. Just keep building the life you want to create and the blocks will stand strong and tall. I believe we all have experienced someone trying to crush our dreams, or tell us we are not good enough to live the life we want. Always feeling doubt that we can’t do anything in our life. This art piece shows someone ignoring everything around them and decides to keep rebuilding the blocks of their life no matter what comes in their way.
Born to Love, Cursed to Feel by Samantha King Holmes,
“There will be those who seek to destroy you and everything you stand for; No matter what, keep building.”
