The impression that people who remain childish receive from others is that they do not have enough ideas about serious issues, that they are insufficient to talk/think about issues such as finance and politics, which are critical for life but are antipathetic to talk about, and that they live in their own imagination.

​

But this is not true. "Knowing and understanding" are not the same as "talking about".

​

What could be more challenging than creating dreams that can reach the mind and heart of a child? Answer is simple: Protecting this world from the tyranny of the real world that is happening around you outside of your influence. That's why I ignore certain topics and ideas that I think will harm what I'm trying to protect. In this way, I believe that I protected not only my child side but also my adult self.

​

And I think that my imagination, that moment when I painted, is a shelter that I must protect at all costs throughout my life.

​

Protect the shelter of the emotions you love. 🫶🏻
