Sweet Star

Your project “The Truth Untold” carries such a gentle yet powerful message. What inspired you to explore themes of honesty, emotion, and healing through your art?

The Truth Untold is something I learned, not only from myself, but from people around me. We all carry something we cannot speak — something inside us that stays silent because the world is not always gentle enough to listen.

There are times when we want to scream, to cry louder, to punch the air, to explain everything we feel — but we can’t. So the truth sinks deeper and deeper. It becomes heavy. And sometimes, it turns into darkness.

So I create. I paint. I build.

For the voices inside us that don’t know how to speak.

For the stories that stay in the chest.

For the souls who carry heaviness quietly.

This project is my way of holding those souls gently.

Many of your works are connected to tarot symbolism. How did tarot influence your creative process and the stories you wanted to tell?

Oh yes — tarot.

I don’t use tarot to read fate. I use it to talk.

I don’t speak much with people, so tarot became a way for me to express energy, emotion, confusion, and hope.

Before creating this series, I pulled four cards: The Fool, Strength, Wheel of Fortune, and The High Priestess.When I saw them together, something happened.

My head and my heart whispered:

“Start now. This is The Truth Untold.”

Those cards didn’t tell me my future.

They opened my heart.

Light and shadow often coexist in your imagery and tone. What do these contrasts mean to you personally?

Light and shadow coexist in my work because that is how I understand life.

No human is pure joy. No human is pure sadness.

We carry both.

The light is the version of myself I am learning to become.

The shadow is the version I had to survive.

Where they meet — that is honesty.

I don’t create for applause.

I create for the souls who are reaching, searching, and trying to understand themselves.

Even if only one person sees the hope inside my art — it is worth it.

You often describe your works as journeys. How has creating “The Truth Untold” changed or healed you personally?

Every artwork is a journey.

Before this, I never really believed in myself — I always waited for someone to tell me what I should do, or which direction to take. I was afraid to choose. Afraid to be wrong. Afraid to be seen.

But while creating The Truth Untold, I learned to trust myself. To decide with my own heart. It taught me that healing isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s slow, gentle, and hidden inside the work you make every day.

This project is not only mine — it is also connected to my son, my little sunflower. He is the reason I keep going. I want him to grow seeing that I tried, that I believed. And because of that, the art healed me. It changed how I stand in this world.

I’m not afraid to choose anymore.

The recurring image of birds and the moon suggests transformation and intuition. What inner truths or emotions do these symbols carry for you?

I always believe birds and the moon are the most gentle souls in this world.

Birds carry truth and freedom — they move with softness, yet they survive storms.

The moon is far, quiet, and steady. It watches everything, but never speaks to hurt.

Since I was young, I would talk to them.

Maybe it sounds strange to some, but to me, they were the only ones who understood without asking for explanation.

I would say: “Hello, are you there? I am trying.” or

“I made it today. Are you proud of me?”

Birds do not laugh.

The moon does not judge.

They simply receive. I believe birds fly high enough to touch the moon.

Maybe they carry the prayers we whisper in silence. Maybe the moon returns them as light on our hardest nights.For me, birds and the moon are reminders: Even in quiet, we are not alone.

You write that “the untold becomes visible.” Do you see art as a form of confession, or more as a dialogue with the soul?

Yes,deeply yes. For me, art is where I speak when I can’t speak.

It is not just a confession — though yes, sometimes it is like opening the chest and letting something fall out. But it is also a conversation with my soul.

When I draw, the world around me fades.

Time slows.

The mind stops arguing.

It becomes just me… and whatever is trying to be born on the paper.

You know that feeling when music makes everything go quiet?

Or when a book holds you like it knows you?

Art does that for me.

It holds me when I don’t know how to hold myself. So yes — my art is a place where I confess gently, but also where I listen to the part of me that I usually silence.

Art is where I come home.

When people encounter your work, what kind of emotional or spiritual experience do you hope they take with them?

More than anything, I hope my work reminds people to take care of themselves.

To be gentle with their heart.

To believe in their worth — even on days when everything feels heavy. If someone sees my work and feels understood — even for one second — that is enough.

If someone feels less alone because of my colors, my lines, my quiet stories — that is enough. I hope they know that they do not need to be loud to exist.

They do not need to be perfect to deserve love.

Healing is slow. Trust is slow. Growth is slow.

If my art can be a small light for someone who is trying, who is surviving, who is still here — then I am grateful.

Because if we don’t hold our own heart, who will?
