✅PS: If you could say something you don’t like about me or judge me based on profile, i will more likely to host you.

I am a graphic designer. I mostly do installation art and i love contemporary arts.

✨Sentences I admire:
"Life consists of only thirty thousand days. In the face of such limited time, the risks we should consider are not the risks of failure, but the risks of not facing challenging obstacles, of not growing, of not becoming who we want to be."
