AUTOMOTIVE PERIOD Through my art, I channel the emotions and memories that have shaped me. This piece reflects a recurring journey through the memories of my childhood and adolescence. At seven years old, I began helping my grandfather in his bicycle repair shop. As I grew older, I moved on to working in a motorbike shop, and later, to a car repair garage. I often found myself so exhausted that I would fall asleep beneath the engine of a car. These are the memories—both bitter and sweet—that forged my path before I stepped into the world of art.
