"There's this thought that constantly runs through my mind, I'm always questioning the origins of these social norms that we're expected to follow. It's important to me that people understand it's okay to break free from them. When I create, I focus on pushing boundaries and shifting perspectives, urging my peers to explore their own interpretations. Every piece I make is deeply rooted in personal experiences, thoughts, and feelings, or simply in a sense of freedom I want to share."
