In my portrait, I sought to capture the joy that blooms within me when I place my trust in my own abilities. Creating this piece was an act of faith in myself—a way to affirm that I am capable of achieving whatever I set my heart on.

Along the way, I discovered that flowers are always by my side, guiding me. They have become symbols of my constant quest to embrace life in all its fullness.

I know the easiest path is to surrender to pessimism or let myself be influenced by the opinions of others. But I have learned that it is worth fighting to remain authentic and to choose, each day, to see life with hope.
