"I had a small series featuring hands and torches. It was inspired by the myth of Prometheus, who gave fire to humanity. This serves as an allegory for struggle and transformation—both within individuals and their communities—where everyone can play a role in laying the groundwork for a different, better life. At the same time, it invites reflection on leadership: whether it belongs to one, imagined as the 'better' individual, or rather to a collective effort."
