The first finished piece I made was a figure sculpt of my OC, Jai, a man too intense for life, too haunting to ever fade.

Even in death, he reaches for the one he loves.

When I started sculpting Jai, the constant struggle for visibility on social media was truly draining my creative energy. But this project, which mattered deeply to me (and maybe only to me), helped me shed the need for external validation and completely reclaim the joy of making art.
Despite running into technical issues, I never grew tired of sculpting him. For the first time in months… maybe even years, I could honestly say I enjoyed making art again.
