Alongside my love for photography, I have a deep passion for alternative art forms. There’s something incredibly satisfying about working with my hands and transforming raw materials into beautiful, functional pieces. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums, constantly challenging myself to learn and grow in new directions. Many of the pieces I create find a special place in my apartment, adding a personal touch and sense of accomplishment to my living space.
