How did you overcome a creative challenge?

A secret?
I sometimes consider journalism as a field of life science because that may give me an excuse to travel more. 

Lately, I’ve been inspired by…  
The courage and confidence of others.  

I feel most creatively fulfilled when… 
I am alone and in the wilderness (I live in the countryside); when I am given nothing to create something. 

I'm currently working on…
An art project inspired by the works of Robert Rauschenberg as I'm an art scholar :) 

This time last year, I wish I knew… 
What I really wanted was a different kind of ‘being in love,’ non traditional, but synonymous to ‘the-self’ —perhaps… but that could change again. 

I'm grateful for… 
Blue skies and clear stars 

Vulnerability is…
Beautiful and underrated.
