ABOU ME

Why are natural materials so attractive to me?​

Collecting different natural objects has been my forever passion since childhood. 


This is because nature has been a place where I gained inspiration and helped me stay away from the bustling and hustling environment. 


The textures, colors, and appearances of objects arouse my curiosity to explore and combine them with my creation.
