In the beginning, art had very a playful dimension. As a child, my favourite games were the ones that required you to use your imagination. I always liked writing stories and plays which I forced my family to watch. Then, as a teenager, creativity became an outlet. Early on in high school, my friends kicked me out of our circle, which led to a difficult period of time when I was quite cut-off. What really helped me was when I signed up for the school theatre group. I made new friends there and being in theatre became a huge point of pride. Art sort of became my means of surviving. Now, as an adult, I would say that creativity and, above all, writing play two roles in my life: a way of playing — having fun — but also a way of surviving by way of expressing inner turmoil.
