My creativity knows no bounds. A fresh project may stem from a book that sweeps me away, a passing bird, a stirring painting, or a memorable encounter... Essentially, it begins with an experience or an impulse. I am a dreamer led by impulses, and I treasure my boundless imagination. Colors hold significance for me, with each color symbolizing different emotions; for instance, blue signifies inspiration, joy, equilibrium, and serenity in my world.

As a visual artist, I use a camera and various techniques to bring my creative ideas to life. By going through stages of building, refining, breaking down, and rebuilding, I persist until my message transforms into a coherent and visually appealing form. My goal of simplicity involves removing unnecessary components, keeping only the vital essence. This approach acts as a coping mechanism, helping me organize mental clutter and convey my intended message effectively.
