The time it takes to create

The other day, a colleague asked me a deceptively simple question: "How long does it take you to create a piece of art?" It's a tough one to answer. When you think about it, a piece of art is the culmination of an artist's years of work, inspiration, and life experiences. Each piece is more than just the sum of these elements because the artist is always evolving, like a snowball that grows over time.

An artist shapes their identity through encounters, detours, and even off-the-beaten-path experiences. Creating a piece of art is about telling a story that is always changing. Each piece is a snapshot of the artist's evolution at a specific moment, documenting their journey and influences.
