In Their Shoes: My Journey in Acting
I love immersing myself in a character’s emotions, exploring their relationships, uncovering their backstory, and fully stepping into their shoes. It’s as if I get to live another life, even if only for a brief moment. Performing arts is not just a way to connect and bond with others; it also offers me the unique opportunity to experience perspectives and roles that I wouldn’t have the chance to encounter in real life.
