As I was born with supraventricular tachycardia, I constantly woke up in cold sweats since my racing heart often had an impact on my dreams, creating vivid nightmares. At times, I would feel anxious, and I frequently woke up to the sound of my own heartbeat. In one of my dreams, my heart was pumping green alien blood. Facing my trauma was difficult, but creating something with it has given me strength. Through repeated trials with blacklight, I found fulfillment in exploring new materials and approaches.
