I can express where words reach their limits. It has become a sacred practice for me. It brings me joy, inner peace and healing.

The kind where I do not think I flow. The kind that takes time, precision and devotion. Art is for everyone, a good piece I've found sparks the curiosity of the unlikeliest of people. I love creating art, any expression or medium. Art is apart of every moment, conversation and connection. I guess my favorite would have to be the kind that ignites not only a connection back to myself but with others.
Where do you find inspiration?In everything, I try to alchemize my life and my experiences into something that is beautiful and meaningful. Nature has been the greatest teacher and inspiration for this. Mother Nature has taught me the seasons of life, transformation and how to find peace in change. Another source of inspiration for me has always been other creators. Anyone from Emma Chamberlain to Iris Van Herpen. To witness others create is an honor and I am grateful to all the other artist in the world.
What would you do with $25,000?Truthfully, I would use it wisely as I can for only having four and twenty years of life experience. I would like to save and invest so that one day I could pursue and fulfill my real desires. My desires being a life on my own making. Relocating abroad. Supporting my mum and brother. And finally, attending fine arts school in Europe. This sum of money would be the initial doorway to freedom for me. However I am just honored and grateful to of been selected for this competition. Thank you!
