Art brings me both peace and unease. I sit alone in the dark, camera in hand, just me and my thoughts, this ongoing dialogue, and the vastness of the creative process. For me, it's about embracing new challenges. Each piece starts as a fleeting image I commit to with unwavering passion. There's no roadmap, just a blind faith in something that doesn't exist yet. I take one step at a time. Questions inevitably arise: Will I reach the finish line? And how do I know I have reached it? There will be times when the results don't meet my expectations. I might see those moments as setbacks, but there always is a lesson. At the very least, I learn to persevere, to finish what I started. Art helps me share what's inside of me in a way words cannot, and through creation, I learn to trust myself. I believe that artistic expression can help us understand more about ourselves and the world around us.
