- Why did you create this work?
The inspiration behind this work from the censorship system in my country. There are numerous news stories that I simply cannot access on social media platforms. I feel like we are isolated on a planet, unable to hear, unable to speak, and unable to see because it's not allowed. The frustration fuels my creative drive. That's why I decided to produce this animation. - How were your illustrations used?
