"Painting provided a safe and peaceful haven for me since childhood, to escape from whatever was frightening. Depicting the world has always been a source of joy for me, a joy that has remained from my childhood. It's like a window through which I plunge my head to see the world the way I desire. Amidst this back and forth between different worlds, I became acquainted with the camera, which, like a brush and color, provides me with the ability to create other worlds.
