Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the history of humankind and in everyday life within communities, especially in the way people connect, misunderstand, and come together.

I would also create community-based initiatives that encourage people to come together through creativity, using art as a bridge to inspire unity, shared understanding, and a collective sense of purpose for the common good
