light absorption

my childhood was not calm and iridescent, but I always felt the light inside me. I believed, that if now me so it is difficult, but in the future this light will escape resurfaced and illuminate me a path. I grew up in a poor family and did everything possible to prevent my children from having such a childhood. Now I am 23 years old, in one year I learned Italian and went to study in Florence. I participated and won many competitions. I had a collective exhibition in Barcelona and Milan. and this is just the beginning of my journey. The light inside me is always present and illuminates my way!
