This three-piece collection focuses on how brave's definition isn't just “willing to face danger or pain without showing fear”, as Oxford Dictionary puts it, and it instead means to be multiple things. In crowned, bravery is something that is expected, a heavy weight that's been placed on a young girl's shoulders; bravery here means portraying oneself as strong so others will continue to appreciate them. In listen, bravery is where one chooses to follow their own voice; bravery here means strength to do what one wants to do, despite the hate they receive. Finally, in aftertouch, bravery becomes courage to acknowledge trauma, face personal pain, admit fear; bravery here is reclaiming one’s own sense of self that has been lost before. Through these works, I explore how bravery isn’t only in the grand gestures and sacrifices, but also in the small, difficult decisions we make for ourselves.

Creativity isn't something that can be created inside of somebody. Nobody is born to be more creative than another. Creativity, instead, is something you need to unlock within yourself, because everybody's idea of creativity is different from each other. It is your choice to be creative or not.
