Growing up as a South Indian artist in Australia, was it difficult to be a creative?
Growing up as a South Indian artist, I face so much resistance within my community and a lack of understanding sometimes from the people closest to me. It is a struggle to live an unconventional life and to defy the limitations that people have placed on me growing up. It feels like a constant uphill battle sometimes but it is very rewarding living in my complete truth and is so freeing to create what I want and be whatever I want.
