Art has always been my safe haven—the quiet shore where my emotions could finally rest. It began in childhood, when poetry became my first language of feeling, and drawing became the bridge between the unconscious and the conscious. What started as play slowly transformed into a lifeline, a way to breathe beneath the weight of loss. Each pencil stroke was a thread stitching together what grief had torn apart; every page a vessel carrying memories too fragile for words. The passing of loved ones shaped my creative pulse, turning art into both sanctuary and mirror—a space for healing and rediscovery.
