I’ve been a fan of David Lynch’s work for a long time, especially Twin Peaks. It’s definitely left a lasting impact on me. There’s something about how he blends the ordinary with the strange that sticks with you. His storytelling, with its quiet moments and odd details, has quietly shaped the way I think about creating.
Lynch had a way of making silence feel important. The moments when not much is happening can often feel the most powerful. It’s a subtle way of building atmosphere, and while it might not always be obvious, it’s something I try to bring into my own work. It’s that feeling of something unspoken, something just out of reach. His work has also reminded me how everyone brings their own interpretation to a story, and how important that is. And in the middle of all the weirdness, there’s always a bit of humor, something that makes the strangeness feel okay, even comforting at times.
He will definitely be missed, but his work will continue to influence people for years to come. His ability to make the strange feel familiar, and the familiar feel strange, will always resonate. It’s a reminder to embrace the unknown, to find the humor in it, and to leave room for others to make their own connections.
