I never dreamed that one day I would be standing in the middle as an artist. In a major exhibit, it's surreal, it's magical.

Once I moved, of course the reality was different. It's not like a movie. I mean, struggling to live and find a place to sleep, and it was really kind of struggling into... make some art or back to my tools. Of course, it's not easy. And I got sick a little bit because of the wizard. So the Met was the very first museum and almost like first place ever to visit in New York.

It is really surreal for me and it's overwhelming now. And I'm really grateful, of course, but it's really surreal still, by the way, even though I talk about it and I... trying to understand it because I never planned this. Even though in my dreams, I never dreamed I would like one day I would be standing in the mid as an artist in a major exhibit. It's surreal. It's magical. It's so divine.
