Proud

My creative work begins as a way to process and clear the emotional clutter within me. Through painting, I transform my intangible thoughts and feelings into something visual—colors and shapes that speak when words fail. It is a way of finding clarity and expressing what cannot otherwise be said, creating a connection between my inner world and the outside one.

Writing, however, requires a rawer, more frightening vulnerability. Unlike painting, where abstraction offers a protective layer, writing demands that I lay myself bare, exposing my thoughts and feelings without filter. Both forms of expression challenge me to stay true to my voice, embracing authenticity even when it feels uncomfortable. This is why I am proud of my creative output: it reflects my courage to confront myself and my commitment to living and creating with honesty and intention.
