Since 2020, I grew a passion to create art because it lets me build mini scenes, tell stories though details, and keep challenging myself.

Making realistic miniature dioramaic scenes!
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the quiet beauty of nature, the storytelling of film, and the haunting stillness of abandoned places. I’m drawn to moments where nature reclaims what was once built, where time, decay, and growth exist together. These elements push me to create miniature worlds that feel alive, emotional, and rooted in both reality and imagination.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind is investing towards my art.
