“I heard them, I kept going”


“If I stopped and listened to them, would I even be here?”
They talked. I heard them all.
Their doubts, their warnings, their logic.
But I chose the noise inside me — louder than their words.
This piece is about that choice. About walking through the shadow,
not to prove them wrong, but to prove myself right.

Concept:

This piece is a raw manifestation of resilience — a painted scream beneath silence. It is for the misjudged, the doubted, the ones who walk a road no one else understands. Richie channels the chaos of criticism, rejection, and pressure — and transforms it into controlled abstraction, echoing the feeling of forging ahead despite the noise.
