I’m 22 year old medical student but I wouldn’t say that it is the most important thing about me. At least I don’t like when people think about me like this. However at the same time it is really hard for me to say what really defines me. I love traveling, because it is the thing that makes me feel truly alive and myself. I really like challenges and the version of myself that appears when I’m far away from everything I know well and fell comfortable with. Right now I’m taking a gap year from university and I went volunteering in Ghana and the South Korea. Both of those trips changed my mindset and way of thinking a lot, which certainly impacted also my work in some way. Drawing on the other hand is I would say some kind of coping mechanism for me. I can not really create anything when I feel great, only when I have too many feeling and thoughts going on in my head. When I draw I just put them on “paper” and leave them there. That’s why I can not always tell what exactly some of my pieces mean, because if I knew exactly what I was feeling that day maybe I wouldn’t have to draw at all. So try not to think too much, try to feel what I was feeling in that moment. Lookig at my works you can see 2 different types of posters, those that have more direct meaning and were created based on a certain thought or an obserwation and those that are less direct and focusing more on the emotions.
