"‘Silence is not empty. It's full of answers’ - I like this quote. I believe everybody needs a quiet place where one can dig deeper into thoughts and emotions. From reading books to observing the night sky – a little solitude into an overfilled schedule is the core of this series. Through my illustrations, I want to remind viewers that such a quiet place can be found everywhere: in the forest or by the river, in a small cafe or a bookshop, in a park or at home, and most importantly – inside yourself. It's so easy to get lost in the noisy world, and, as an artist, I hope to encourage viewers to take a break, treasure ordinary, and not let go of the things they truly love doing. Being alone is important and beautiful. And I believe that creating such a quiet time for yourself could be the key to finding the answers to big questions.”
