Forge Forward: "My Rage Will Keep Me Warm"

Born from a weekend of emotional friction and family dynamics, My Rage Keeps Me Warm is a reflection on the potency of anger, not as destruction, but as transformation. Rage, for me, is creative fuel. It’s the emotion I trust most to show me where lines have been crossed, where I’ve been dismissed or disrespected. It’s a guide, not a shame.

This piece combines traditional tattoo-style flames and tiger with soft, unexpected colours, salmon, pinks, quiet warmth, wrapped around hand-drawn typography that flows with the image, held together by broken chains. A quiet paradox: soft rage, bound yet free.

Anger is not inherently bad. When understood, it can be your strongest resource. This piece is a reminder: your rage has value. Let it warm you.
