It all started when…
It all started when I first saw my father create. His hands moved with purpose, shaping something out of nothing. I didn’t know what I was witnessing at the time, just that it felt important. Then he said, “The key to life is to create, but you have to see it first.”
I didn’t understand it then. But the first time I tried to create something myself, it all clicked. Creation isn’t just about making, it’s about vision. It’s about seeing something before it exists and having the patience, intention, and discipline to bring it to life.
Now, every piece I make carries that lesson. It’s more than art. It’s a process, a reflection, a way of shaping the world—not just for myself, but for those who connect with it.
