WHO WE ARE
WHO WE ARE
Welcome to Hystera, where we explore the ERA OF HYSTERIA with compassion and creativity. Our name, a mix of “ERA” and “HYSTERIA,” reflects our commitment to exploring today’s emotional landscape with empathy and purpose.
In a world where the news and social media often feel overwhelming and negativity seems pervasive, Hysteria is here to offer a refuge—a space where art and emotion come together to encourage Spiritual connection and personal growth. We recognize that this era is marked by intense feelings and mental instability, and we believe that these emotions can be harnessed to bring us closer to something more profound and transformative.
At Hystera, we don’t want to just put a picture of Jesus on a shirt and profit from it. We want to tell the story of the bible through art, without having to push it or force it in someone's face. Our approach is grounded by the belief that art is not just a reflection of our inner world, but a means to connect with something greater. Through each piece we create and each experience we offer, our goal is to guide you on a journey towards deeper self-understanding and spiritual connection.
Join us as we navigate the complexities of modern life with grace and creativity. Together, we can transform the challenges of our era into opportunities for personal and spiritual growth. Embrace the ERA OF HYSTERIA with us, and discover a renewed sense of meaning and connection in a rapidly changing world.
FOUNDERS BELIEF
Growing up my parents moved quite a lot, mentally it definitely affected me but physically I would always look at the bright side of everything. I had to learn the hard way that life goes on with or without you. Moving states meant moving from close acquaintances and best friends I made along the way, and eventually we would go our separate ways. Through this I got to see who my life long friends would be and who was only there for the laughs or to escape solitude. Meeting so many people from so many different places I started to see a pattern of personalities which made it easier to talk and find common interests with people. Through this I learned to try to look for the best in everyone but sometimes it’s not enough.
Through working full time jobs and freelancing, I worked hard for every penny I’ve made which has made me grateful for every situation I’m in. I believe through hard work and dedication you can do anything that your mind can think of.
With everything I have been through I have experienced the ups and downs of society, social media, and online personas. I learned to cut off toxic friendships, or relationships that did not benefit me in any way and only dragged me down. Through this process I got to see the true colors of certain individuals, which only made this process easier. Getting to travel and networking meant meeting people who I had only seen online through a persona that they put on for the internet, sometimes not being a bad thing but other times it made me realize how selfish and stuck up some people can be.
All of this made me a more open minded person, not looking at music, clothing or videos like it’s nothing but looking at it like it’s a form of expression. I constantly hear “that song was bad” or “That video sucked” but people don’t realize that sometimes that song or that video was the only way a person would express themselves. Through HYSTERA I want to be able to express my beliefs and creativity with every piece, and build a community that is able to express themselves freely. I want to be able to offer a place where you can feel at home without having to be at home, and remember home is where the heart is.
