Escaping Into the Grid — and Finding Myself Again

🎬

The Tron: Ares universe pulls me in every time. There’s something addictive about it, maybe because I’m in a particular season of life — constantly trying to reset. As a mom, as an artist, as a woman evolving in real time, I find myself in transition after transition.

I’m searching for space — and time — to be fully myself again. The version of me that sings, dances, draws, and writes. The version that creates freely without boundaries, without guilt, without rushing.

Movies like Tron: Ares give me a glimpse of that freedom. I watch actors transform into someone else — fictional or real — and I’m fascinated. The way they shift, the way they surrender, the way they become. I find myself wondering: Could I do that? Could I embody something beyond me?

Sometimes I crave that transformation — to step outside as someone else for a moment, yet remain anchored to who I truly am inside. It’s not about losing myself; it’s about exploring myself through different worlds.

Two hours in a dark theater can feel like oxygen. For that short burst of time, I get to escape, to imagine, to remember that creation — in any form — is the closest thing we have to transcendence.
