I love to express myself. Art makes me feel out of reality. I also love to talk with people through art and hear different perspectives.

Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration started from a nostalgic comment my teacher made about how beautifully I used to draw. Now, my inspiration comes from my emotions, feelings, and the music I listen to. Depending on how I feel, I choose what to listen to and then I start painting.
What would you do with $25,000?I would like to invest it in my personal project as an artist—buying materials, growing my presence on social media, and working on my dream of creating a clothing brand. I also want to support my mom with our financial expenses. But more than anything, what I really want is to win the contest and have the opportunity to exhibit my art in a highly recognized place.
