"I Find Myself on the Verge of Tears” explores the agony of watching from afar as my home country is torn apart by war. This episode delves into themes of loss, numbness, and the profound impact of emotional expression. It also reflects on the art I create from pain and discomfort, challenging the assumptions placed on me as someone who appears happy on the surface, yet whose deeper thoughts and emotions are often overlooked.
