This environment, with its sweeping valleys, shimmering lakes, and towering peaks, instilled in me a profound reverence for nature from an early age. The rugged terrain and ever-changing weather patterns became not just a backdrop, but a canvas of inspiration that I carried with me into my artistic journey.
