It is always a little bit surreal when a big project sees the light. Wether it is in art, sports or any field. You work on something with hearth and soul, you put all your love, time and energy in it, you have a vision for it, you overcome hurdles and slippery slopes and then all of a sudden it’s there and it’s even more amazing than you expected.
