A Message from Rolf….

Hello friends and family!

I announced on May 30th, through my personal Instagram account, that I have decided to cancel “This is Happening – Spring Awakening” scheduled for June 15th at the James Island Arts & Cultural Center. This was a difficult and painful decision for me. Please know this decision was completely personal. As someone with a mental health illness, I must always be vigilant towards my illness. For the past few weeks, in preparation for TIH – Spring Awakening, I noticed that my mental health was in bad shape. I knew I had to step back and reevaluate my priorities.

I have decided I will no longer be involved in art or events associated with art. I have also decided to cancel the “ROLF Booth” and deleted my Instagram accounts. These decisions will allow me to focus on mental health and find peace in my life. I am learning that my illness is triggered through art activities that I thought where helpful. But, as I have learned, art can provoke my illness and I am unsure at this time if my art practice helps me or hurts me.

For the remainder of 2024, I will be working on living a healthy, productive life as someone with a mental health disorder. I am eager to see how these major life changes push me onto a new path. Change is good and I look forward to seeing what the future brings.

With love,
Rolf
