TEXT INSERT: Almost every night I take a bath before going to bed. It's one of my favorite ways to relax at the end of the day. The hypnotic sound of the running water, the hot vapor and the fog on the mirror put me in a different state of mind. The period of time I spend in the bathroom while the bath fills, is imbued with a very specific atmosphere. During the day, I put a lot of pressure on myself. I create a framework for the day ahead. It's full of expectation. I tell myself that today shold be a succesful and fruitful day, full of brilliant ideas, meaningful events and a lot of achievements. The whole day is a struggle with all these expectations. At the end of the day when there is nothing left to loose, I've set myself free from all of these. Sitting in a chair next to the bathtub drawing as I wait for it to fill up, there's no longer any self-imposed pressure.
