From Oppression to Art

I was born and raised in a small village, where I witnessed firsthand the oppression and injustice inflicted upon my community.

The beautiful sunsets, the joy, and the humanity that once defined our lives were overshadowed by the cruelty of enemies.

Yet, the resilience and love for life among the people, and the enchanting beauty of our village’s nature, deeply moved my soul.

Through this journey, I found myself in a world of chaos, discovering my place in the art of storytelling, cinema, and humanitarian efforts.

As a person and an artist, I have worked tirelessly to uphold human values, helping to restore faith and hope in those who need it most.
