Through the journey of creation, I’ve faced struggles and setbacks. But over the passing years, I’ve finally come to create works that truly move me— pieces I deeply love, and perhaps, those that helped me break through my own limits. I know I still have much to learn, much yet to discover. But no matter how many voices surround me, they cannot stop me from moving forward. Growth, after all, comes hand in hand with doubt. There are times when I still question myself: Can I really keep going? Is it because I’m not good enough that I haven’t yet stood out? Yet after all these thoughts, I always return to one simple truth: “What matters most is that I’m happy creating.” As I look at each piece signed with my name, I hope that my future self will continue to treasure this effort, and the part of me that never gave up. Looking back, I’m filled with gratitude and relief— thankful that I didn’t abandon this path of illustration. The confusion and low tides I once experienced have now become the nourishment that helps me shine. I’m so glad we could meet here, in this field of creative time, and step together into the stories behind each piece.
