Looking back on your creative journey so far, was there a project that felt like a turning point for you?Yes, definitely. A turning point for me was the publication of Am I Awake or Am I Dreaming?, my first book. Not just because of its content—a collection of lucid dreams turned into images—but because of everything the process involved: working alone, making editorial decisions without intermediaries, holding on to an idea for a long time, and carrying it out without adjusting it to outside expectations.
Up until that point, most of my work had been commissioned or collaborative. This book was the first space where I could let the visual, the narrative, and the personal blend together without having to explain everything. It helped me understand what kind of language I want to build and, more importantly, what kind of freedom I need for that language to emerge. And with everything that comes with it, now that the book exists as an object, I no longer feel like it fully belongs to me. It feels like it was made by someone else, and that also allows me to let it go. In that sense, I experience it less as an accomplishment and more as the end of a cycle, and the quiet beginning of another.
