Despite being born less than two years before me, my brother has ten times more of the burden and responsibility that I carry. He has guided me through countless situations, whether they be school troubles or just life in general. I view him as an extremely strong, multi-talented and intelligent individual, who always sets others before himself and never runs out of valuable ideas to share. I wanted to express my admiration and gratitude towards him through my art rather than words.
