If you are curious about my statement. It's not an incantation or prayer, but you could think of it as a poetic invitation—a call to gather and create stories together. It reflects my creative process and the spirit behind my art. I draw inspiration from the natural world, where even the smallest leaf or gentlest breeze seems to carry its own story. Additionally, I am deeply inspired by people and their stories. The emotions, experiences, and dreams of individuals fuel my creativity and are woven into the fabric of each tale I tell. By inviting you to 'chat' and 'write a story together,' I hope to evoke a sense of communal storytelling, reminiscent of old tales shared around a fire under the stars. It's about creating a shared space where imagination and magic come alive.
