Summer breeze howling in my ear
The North Wind whispering to my soul
And the gentle gust hushing the drumbeats within:
It’s the restlessness of my being
Acting reckless
Fighting the chains of fate – 
Bounded to nothing
I walk, far into the depths
Of my imagination,
I cross the sea of Emotion
I climb the mountains of Thought
Pledging to free myself
From the sorrow of expectations – 
Set by others,
Defined by the World.
~Eliel Mizrahi

This piece was inspired by living on your terms. Sometimes, in life, we get lost. We follow rules set by others and try to live by expectations our family set or even our own subconscious expectations. “Chasing Freedom” is about pursuing after the liberation of self that allows us to live the life we truly want – with purpose, passion, and self-empowerment.

“Chase your dreams and your nightmares will grow tired of chasing you.”
