Imagine that you have a free Saturday and in front of you lies an old wooden box. What will you do first? I will start taking it apart – I want to understand how it was made.
I will take a brush and paints – it will be something completely different.
I sit down next to her and let my thoughts flow – inspiration will come on its own.
I will call a friend – such a project is better in pairs.
I'll put it off for later – I first need to think about what I actually want.

What material would most attract you for crafting with your hands? Clay – I love being in contact with nature and the change of shape.
Wood - a solid yet malleable material that requires respect.
Paper - lightness, layers, possibilities.
Textiles – colors, textures, movement.
Metal – precision, challenge, durability.

What best captures the feeling of "creative flow" for you? When I forget about time and surrounding sounds.
When an image appears in my mind and my hands know what to do.
When something goes wrong repeatedly, but I don't give up.
When something moves me internally, even if no one else sees it.
When something arises that I can't explain in words, but I feel that it is mine.

How would you react if someone told you that your work has no "meaning"? I will think about it – maybe he/she is right.
I will smile - everyone has their own perspective.
I will get angry - that was a personal blow.
I will consider whether I can show him what I mean.
I don't do it for meaning, but for the feeling – and that is real.

Which moment in the creative process brings you the greatest satisfaction? The very beginning – everything is still possible.
When I come up with a solution to something that has been bothering me.

How do you react when something inspires you? I need to write it down or sketch it out.
I am creating something immediately, even if it's just from the paper on the table.
I share it with someone – inspiration should spread.
I'll let it mature within me for a while, then I'll act.
I will find out why it actually inspired me – what it triggered within me?

Imagine that your hands forgot how to create. What would you do? I would go for a walk – nature heals.
I would start cutting or gluing something aimlessly.
I would be looking for old things that I have already done.
