Nostalgia

This piece is a quiet elegy to the fragile brilliance of childhood - to that sacred moment when creation flowed freely, unshaped by judgment, untouched by expectation. It remembers the sheer joy of drawing without knowing why, of inventing worlds with nothing but color, gesture, and wonder.

Here, the artist traces a path not forward, but inward - yearning to touch once more the luminous spark of their younger self, a self blurred by time and the noise of external gaze.

Each mark becomes a soft rebellion, an attempt to remold the self, not into something new, but into something true. The act of drawing becomes a healing - a way of reclaiming peace, not through silence, but through the fearless imagination that once came so naturally.

In this tender gesture, the artist does not simply remember childhood - they return to it, and in doing so, remind us that the most honest art is often born from the place where joy had no audience.
