Maybe from AMBITION 🩷

Maybe is a piece dedicated to the maybes in our lives. When we feel like maybe something will work out we have a sense of peace, but uncertainty is always nearby.

Searching/It Pours from AMBITION 💙

Searching is a piece centered around the repetitive, anxious, and yearning heart that surrounds searching for God’s Will, design, and answers in our lives.

It Pours takes direct inspiration from the third time the rock landscape our story is based on crumbles. With heavy rains, the rocks could not stand strong due to the way they were placed. Likewise, when storms come if we are not built on a firm foundation we will slip, fall, and crumble.

Given Up from AMBITION

Given Up showcases the chaos and frustration of transformation. While we begin with just one simple idea or goal, as we begin the work we realize that it is not as easy as it seems leading us to deep confusion and the messiness of creating something new.

zero from AMBITION

zero is the precursor, ground zero, the idea that before a masterpiece there is nothing in its place. Until something of the utmost value is created, arranged, and embedded there, there is nothing.
