I take on such collaborations with great pleasure, and I feel that I always come out richer with new, enlightening experiences. This was also the case with this collaboration. Working on the illustrations not only allowed me to expand my skills but also introduced a wonderful person into my life, Aga.

In the process of creating illustrations, Aga placed complete trust in me, for which I am immensely grateful. The aim was to craft visual, warm illustrations with a touch of nostalgia. I hope I managed to achieve that.
