In times of creative block, we often seek inspiration elsewhere, yet we might overlook the value of revisiting our own past work. Reflecting on our previous artworks, designs, or writings can evoke a spectrum of emotions. Such reflection helps us recognize our personal evolution and growth. Our own creations hold the power to reconnect us with forgotten influences, reignite past passions that once fueled our creativity, or simply inspire us to persist in our creative journey. In an era where we are constantly inundated with others’ accomplishments, exploring our own work can be one of the most genuine sources of inspiration.
