From connection and belonging to finding clarity on who you are, we explore the role that creative expression can play in revealing new sides of ourselves. Jeoff reflects on his own artistic journey, the experiences that have shaped his identity, the impact of community, and the lessons that can come from things not going to plan, including how embracing failure can change your life.
