I love creating from what I truly feel. When something is real and not superficial, I believe it can reach others, helping them feel or understand something within themselves.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything around me: in my thoughts, in the people I meet, and in the feelings I experience.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to support my artistic growth and create more meaningful work. It would give me the space and time to focus on creating, expanding my portfolio, and developing my path toward art therapy, where art can help people connect with their emotions and themselves.
