That feeling of having created something is pure joy, despite it being flawed and far from being perfect. I love making things that feel personal. The biggest motivation for me to make something is that I want something specific, something that I either could not afford or have not come across yet.

SIDE.PROJECTS by.CL are created from passion and curiosity. These ideas carry a deep meaning for me as they have materialised from memories, sentiments, imaginations and visions that have only developed over long periods of contemplating thoughts, pondering over strategies, rethinking and revisioning concepts. You could say that they are small expressions of my inner world.

There is still so much I want to do in life. Crafts to learn, objects to make, arts to master, curiosities to explore. I want to experiment, I want to trial and error, I want to express without considering the opinions of others. This is for me. Side projects, intimately free, slowly paced and highly personal.
