I created this piece inspired by a story my friend shared with me. It’s fascinating how life circles back—I realized that almost 10 years ago, I drew a girl with text written on her skin, her hands stained with ink, holding a black book. Later, I photographed a friend in this very image. We rented a professional photo studio for the entire day, with perfect lighting, and I wrote a story on her skin. It was deeply poetic and unforgettable.
Now, this feeling has returned to me, almost like an echo of the past. It’s indescribable how much I love this. Unfortunately, I don’t have the old drawings or photos anymore, but I carry the memories, and the story my friend shared resonates with those feelings so perfectly.
