Can you tell us about your artistic journey and what inspired you to become an artist?

I commenced taking film photography in 2013 and initiated creating in the darkroom from 2022.

There wasn't a specific moment when I decided to become an artist; I naturally drew pictures since my early childhood. Although I grew up with four siblings, I often felt a sense of solitude.At night, I would gaze at the stars from the balcony and craft stories using my imagination. Art is my closest companion, a reflection of myself, and one of my life activity of my life for survival.
