Isolation is an inevitable part of my art process, without it, no work is born. That is why most of my creative work happens at dark hours when the heavy silence overcomes the usually bustling city. The feeling I get when creating art alone at night is like floating in the cosmos – detached, ignoring reality. Mentally, I drift far from our home planet until I come to the realization that I don’t exist. I don't exist, not because I’m tired of life, but because I simply don’t want to exist. Paradoxically, I exist parallel to everything else, like an invisible entity observing from a distance.

Through my book K.O.S.M.O.S, I aim to convey that isolation is not always negative. It can be a powerful force for personal growth, helping and supporting a person in significant ways.
