I create intuitively. This means allowing connection with my thoughts, emotions, and experiences. By expressing these through {mediums}______, the process is therapeutic and cathartic, providing self-discovery and reflection.

It is only in hindsight that I can acknowledge what I strive for is adaptability: embracing uncertainty and recognizing the inability to change what is beyond our control.
