Art has been a part of my life for a long time and has been a way of displaying me in a non-verbal way to myself and others. A great part of what makes my art is the approach or the attempt to portray the conceptual idea of the emotions suppressed inside. I often feel that there are many emotions or thoughts that I cannot express in words to others. It may be due to the lack of words I have to describe this concept or feeling overwhelmed to directly talk about it. Illustrating these concepts may not be a direct communication, but shows the abstract concept around grief, stress, nostalgia, hope, and other emotions felt daily but not talked about. I am grateful for having these opportunities to open up and share indirectly by means that people can understand despite language barriers as well. While my art until now has dealt a lot with emotions felt as a teenager, I hope that my journey as an artist allows me to continuously explore more in-depth emotions as I grow as a person in the future and in a way to explore these ideas.
