It’s so clear when you look in the mirror Two feet on the ground One head on two shoulders You look down same weight in your hands Same drug to cure the same problem It’s black and white It’s clear as day What a fuked up world we live in today They give me drugs to cure my addiction
They give me hate when i need a new prescription I have a sick obsession Chasing my gut feeling I want to be high Hand over the gold Take me for a ride

I’ve been there and back multiple times. I don’t care how hard i fall. I’ve been through it all. Let’s do it together Take my hand Blow all of our troubles Back to where we last sinned.
MODELLING IN SLC, UT. WITH TIMOTHY YOUNG
“Being on meds is ok it doesn’t make you less you. I take three a day and probably will for the rest of my days. It’s kept me alive, so if you need help get it! Fuck the stigma”. - Alexander hoffman aka - (@personal hell)
“Mental health is so much more vital than we give credit. Take time everyday to check in with yourself and ask yourself what you need. Remember to listen to yourself. Nobody knows you like you do, trust and listen.. Here for you always “. -eklektik

Sell me to the devil. Won’t you? Get me away from you
I would like to find a place that won’t let me return. Someplace that holds me caprive from this experience we like to call love.
THANK YOU
It seems like you have residence in the place You say it is warm and could call home, i say You You You You You You You
say say say say say say say
taken up a permanent that used to be my heart. forgiving; a place you it is shallow and decaying.
my voice travels as far as i can see, the sparkle in my eye is blinding, my smile glistens in the moonlight, i am worth more than i will ever know, i am facsimile of a renaissance sculpture, i am the light at the end of the tunnel, i am a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
But what if i told you i am not what you think i am. Would you believe me if i told you that at heart i am a graveyard girl with tomg like ribs, with sunken eyes and a heart made entirely out of stone. That i am nothing but a ghost who haunts with decaying skin and pale white limbs.
Would you believe me if i told you, I am nothing but a heart that has forgotten how to love?
You say by, Jocelyn Horton

REICHE IDUNE GALLIEklektik has next to nothing to do with me, I simply put others creativity and passion to paper. My goal is to enrich and shed light on Utah’s art scene which is covered up by toxic and judgemental energy. I simply intend to create and maintain a safe; creative, judge-free area for local/worldwide artists big and small to grow

E Z IN A Reiche idune galliSee there is no reason for art, i know that sounds harsh but in retrospect there is no reason for life. I believe the best way to use our time here is t create, and eklektik is a place to do that. Eklektik has always been a safe place for me creatively and mentally. I appreciate you sincerely for reading. Thank you to the creatives.
On the edge of enlightenment Your mind is an eclipse. Soon i’ll crack the crust and sift my way to your core. Softly and slowly i’ll wear you down like the nicotine in your brainenough to spawn a stone of its own. I want to see who you are when you’re stripped down to magna.

Sometimes clashing like tectonic plates. Feels as if were in a constant state of growth and erosion. Mountains and volcanoes, creation and destruction. On the edge of eruption, i can’t curb this anymore. So will we forever stand in this constant grey? Between death and life, this line is so confused. Which side will each of us choose?

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW W/ LLOYD THE ABTRAC: Lloyd has been a photographer since he can remember in an interview with him lloyd said “since i was a toddler i was taking photos; i’m not in any family photos, I took all of them”.But “professionally when i was 19 for BCBG”. When asked if he considers his work a career or a passion project he replied: “i’ve never been in it for the money, I just love creating magic and if i can make money off of that, i’m happy”.Throughout the interview I was curious to ask him what career he would choose if he could choose any. I ask this question to learn if artists of any kind would stay in a creative field.. As expected Lloyd replied with; “singer, or architect”. Keeping it creative.

MEMORY HILLS
Interview w/ Lochlaen Galli for Memory Hills and clothing design and culture. 2.18.21 5:41 How old were you when you started designing? 16 What inspired you to create? What happened in your life that made you decide to try it? “Therapy wasn’t working”. Do you believe being an artist in something you’re born with or something you adapt? “I don’t like the term artist, i think it is a very cliche blanket to throw over something that is too deep to get into.every body is born with a way to create. But it gets like overshadowed by trying to be the next best thing instead of creating for the purpose of creating.” If you could be anything but a clothing designer what would it be? “Dead” Where do you want to be with your clothing five years from now? “I want my clothes to be in the hands of people that understand who i was as for me, i wanna be a memory within the fashion world, I don’t like the idea of being looked up to”. Were you immediately proud of you work or did you have to learn a lot more to be able to appreciate it? “I don’t think i will every fully appreciate my own work, I mean nothing is perfect and I am a perfectionist”.
