Ever since I was a child, I’ve been driven by one passion: the desire to create. I didn't know about this passion until I saw a film that would change my life— Spider-Man, directed by Sam Raimi. There was a scene in the movie where Peter Parker is brainstorming ideas for his superhero suit, and something about that scene in particular just sparked an interest within me- an aspiration that was hard to describe, but it caused me to pick up a pencil and start drawing. I was still very young, so obviously my drawings kind of looked like garbage, but I kept persisting. I filled notebooks with sketches, I would draw in the hopes to be as good as the other artists that inspired me.
