Art is where my soul speaks. It teaches me imperfection has value, and turns abstract truth into something I can hold onto. That's my why.

Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in every beauty of a soul, the beauty of the world. I’m not exactly drawn to others artwork, but drawn to meanings, stories, and emotions that reflect back to how people think and feel.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d use it to invest in my art and education, give back to my parents who made this journey possible, and donate to a youth charity so others can pursue their dreams too. Money isn’t something I take lightly. For me, it’s about using what I have to grow, to honor support, and open doors for people coming after me.
