Before graduating, I proposed the idea of a memorable group exhibition with a few friends from university. The concept was simple yet profound: each participant had the freedom to choose their subject, medium, and message. However, to encapsulate the unique and fleeting nature of this collaboration—an exhibition shared at that exact moment in time—we named it ‘The First and Only.’

For my contribution, I chose the theme of childhood, as I have always been deeply drawn to the world of children. My goal was to capture and portray their innocence, untouched by prejudice, and their boundless, unrestrained freedom of expression—a pure and unfiltered perspective of the world.
