About the Webkeeper
Hei, hei, I go by many names, but here I will mostly be refered as Windwalker, Wytch or March and I use she/her/elle. I'm in my early twenties and I live in the West of France. I'm a university student.
Okay, apart from that boring stuff, I'm a compulsive creative and I use many different forms of storytelling to express myself : I love drawing, screenwriting and designing games first and foremost, but I also write prose and poetry, play music (will try my hand at composing soon) and act. I need to get the poison out whenever a new idea starts sprouting in my brain, before they root themselves deep and become bloated with unecessary additions and fear of imperfections. Eventually, I do intend to live off of my creativity, but I know this will be a long process that I just started.
I am fascinated by our squishy, moist and yet beautiful bodies. We both are nothing but our physical form and yet are separate from it. Like, it's weird right ? We're a hive of micro-organisms calling itself "I", a singular whole, thinking and capable of recognizing itself thanks to complex physiological processes. We have both absolute and very limited control over our own meat, are completly prisonners of our senses and individual consciousness, but also have the intellectual capabilities to exceed them, imagine completly different worlds and existences and connect meaningfully with other individuals even without direct access to their inside world.
I dunno, I get freaked out sometimes. I know this trend in my art comes from a weird and changing sense of ownership with my own body, who felt so foreign and now feels so me, and yet still feels so bizarre and separate. Maybe I will never be quite at ease in it, now that I spent so long questioning and scrutinizing it.
Otherwise, I'm a strong believer of decentralised and circular organising, and generally suspicious of any efforts of centralising decision-making. I dislike nations and frontiers, I believe we can do better, that we can have self-determination without ending up in a bloody fight of individuals against individuals, tribes against tribes. I believe most of the larger-scale violence in history can be attributed to power imbalances in systems, not "human nature". And that the systems with the least power imbalances are systems with no central authorities and no institutions of power, and instead rely on anarchic (here, dropped it) principles of mutual aid, free association and direct action. This will come up in my art, sooo... that's why I'm mentioning this here.
