Destiny can seem ruthless at times... but in our effort to tame our Inner Wilds, we found out she was with us every step of the way.
Inner Wilds asks the question of what navigating our deepest depths might look like when we embrace, or reject, the notion of Fate. In everyone there is a wilderness... but these Inner Wilds can only be charted if we're willing to dive deeper.
What we encounter...
What we feed...
What we tame...
Or what we set free...
These things will ultimately determine the outcome when Destiny finally approaches us.

A name becomes a title...
A title becomes a purpose...
A purpose becomes one's Destiny.
She may look different to everyone, but three things are for certain—
She is not here to judge.
She's not here to harm.
And She's not here by Chance.

There are moments when we have to face an ugly truth... to hold the weight of our decisions in our hands and sit with it.
This is the moment when it matters the most to ask, does our Ego have our best interest at heart or is it simply trying to survive... to exist?
Because it knows that one's true Destiny is manifested only upon facing the death of our individual Egos.

There are 2 wolves inside each of us, locked in constant opposition to each other... Both vying to be the holder of the threads of our fate.
Who do we tame?
Who do we feed?
And what happens when we enter the fray ourselves to take charge?

There are moments when the only way forward is to take a step back... And others when the only way forward is simply that. The important thing to remember in these moments is to keep moving -
Stillness does not mean standing still.

"Stillness approached me when I only wished for rage... And as I felt the darkness engulf me, the Fate that bound me was only made clearer.
Still, a voice pierced through...
'This isn't you(r) Destiny.'"
Price: $1,000
An outstretched hand, now bound with the threads that once held you back... Adorned by expectations and reservations of the person you thought you needed to be. Seeing those threads that once held you so tightly, now a loose and weightless burden that you no longer have to bear...
This hand is outstretched still.
Price: $1,000
An outstretched hand, bandaged and wrapped from years of confronting the monsters you fought so valiantly against... The wolves you've confronted time and time again within, though untamed, are still yours and yours alone. You've learnt by now that a hungry beast is an angry beast.
That hand is outstretched still.

How would you define Destiny-
Is she the ultimate end for each of us?
Is she a pre-determined course and purpose each person receives at the moment of their existence?
Or could she simply be Possibility?
The possibility to exist in spite of the things we think of ourselves; in spite of the constraints and boundaries we experience in our daily lives; in spite of even our own definitions of what we understand Fate to be?
These threads that we see woven, measured, and cut are simply a way for us to justify our own piece of Existence. It's up to us to stitch our own tapestry of transformation... just know that you don't have to do it alone because Destiny is more than willing to help.

Within the wilderness, Strength may take many forms. It's never usually the fastest, nor the largest, nor even the most intelligent. The common underlying factor for all that survives, is being steadfast in the need to persist against all odds.

"Hello...?"
"...It has been a while since someone approached me willingly... have you made peace and accepted your(e) Destiny?"
"I... I'm still navigating it all and I'm a bit lost... What should I call you?"
"They call me the Devourer of Light."
"...And what do you call yourself?"
"I'm known as the Great Transgressor-"
"But what do YOU call yourself?"
"...I am Eli."
"Eli... such a beautiful purpose."
"...Why do you approach still? Knowing who I am... WHAT I am?"
"I don't think it is for me to judge, nor for me to fight what already is. But I think I'm finally understanding."
"That... is truly an invaluable gift. Thank you."
"An Offering goes both ways my new friend. Thank you for this purpose."
