                keep my artwork at home, hidden away,
                creating pieces mainly for my family. I use
                my artwork to commemorate significant
                milestones and life events or store gifts like

                scarves and leatherwork. Adornment is not
                just about appearance; it’s about beauty that
                reminds us of our capabilities, resilience, and

                strength.
