Name: Unoriginal by Casey Lyons
Duration: 2 min 14 s
Description: Unoriginal stems from the many times very well-intentioned people have compared my work to others…I struggle with comparison—sometimes it’s an honor, but other times, it just feels like nothing that I make will ever truly be mine. Maybe one day, I won’t be regarded as “the next [insert name]”, and I will be known as my own. I hope you enjoy!
