MY INSPIRATION FOR
THIS ARTWORK
People see the shine but miss the struggle. I was inspired by how we judge success by the surface, houses, cars, clothes, without seeing the hard work underneath. ‘Self Made’ reveals the untold sacrifices and ongoing journey behind the gloss.

HOW IT’S MADE
Balancing 35 kg to look featherweight was an engineering puzzle for me. Overcoming mechanical challenges, welding countless prototypes, and spending hundreds of hours. All before I even started the 150+ hours of sanding and polishing.
