As a child, I was always fond of painting and art, but I never pursued it, choosing instead to focus on becoming a doctor. It wasn’t until last year that I finally took up lessons and reconnected with that creative part of myself. Painting has quickly become my way of expressing emotions that words often can’t capture. I see this hobby as a challenge, one that I embrace wholeheartedly. It’s given me a space to explore and reflect on life’s deeper layers. Through color and form, I’ve found a new language that lets me connect with myself—and hopefully with others too.
