I find this photo very calming.

I’m working on a short illustrated children’s book that introduces JavaScript concepts using simple language and playful toys.

The base version will be free, and there’s a colorful extended edition with bonus coding bits you can buy if you’d like.

Here’s a little sneak peek!👇

Statice flowers for #AbstractAug #Botanical

Upside-down photo showing the reflection of a tall modern building and trees in a pond. The reflection is in colour, while the actual scene below is in black and white, creating a split visual effect.

Couldn’t decide between colour and black&white, so I went with both.

#AbstractAug #Buildings

A narrow cobblestone alley lined with potted plants and small outdoor tables, leading to a white building in the background. Sunlight casts soft shadows across the scene.

Spotted this cat two days ago, keeping a watchful eye on the neighbourhood and silently judging you.

So beautiful!

Quote by Elif Shafak from the book How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division: “If the feeling of not being heard persists and becomes routine, it will gradually close off our ears and our hearts.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really loved this book! Despite its short length, it powerfully captures the complexities and fractures of today’s society.

A close-up of an old, partially open wooden door. A black cat is barely visible in the darkness behind the door, with only its eyes showing. The ground in front of the door is a mix of worn concrete and dark cobblestones.

A little void.
