Two Years Since the Start of My Artistic Journey

Time flies—it's already been two years since I began my independent journey as an artist.

2024 was filled with wonderful encounters and meaningful connections, making it a truly special year.

To everyone who has continued to support me with warmth and kindness, I offer my heartfelt thanks.

At the same time, I faced moments when my mind and body didn’t feel as balanced as I had hoped.

Through ongoing inner reflection and grappling with personal challenges, I was able to deepen my understanding of "coexistence" across various areas of life.

Though there was a gap in activity for a while, I’ve come to reaffirm that creating art is an essential part of my life—a vital expression of who I am.

I will continue to approach each piece with care and joy.

In my third year of activity, I plan to carry on the goals I set last year:continuing to add new works to Casie, creating pieces for solo exhibitions,and, though irregular, holding kids’ art events as well.

I remain committed to creating “connection-driven” art that brings color and warmth to shared spaces.

Wishing for many meaningful encounters and connections in 2025 as well. ✨
