In my free time, I enjoy expressing my creativity through art and craft, exploring various mediums like painting, sketching, and pottery, and indulging in DIY projects like jewelry making and embroidery. I also have a passion for cinema, immersing myself in the world of movies, analyzing storytelling and filmmaking techniques, and appreciating the emotional resonance and escapism that films provide. Whether I'm creating something with my hands or getting lost in a cinematic experience, I find joy in the creative process and the beauty of artistic expression.
