Artist‘s Statement
My writings are often not so organized and very personal as they always shows my literal emotions and who I am. I write when I feel happy, I write when I feel sad, I write when I get mad, I write when I get stressed. Writing helps me to get all my hidden emotions out and offers me the relief of sharing and making the burden light. So I want to thank all my late nights and early morning journal and writing pieces for providing me with a good day and good nights.
