The "Ghobbuls" Project: A System for Cultivating an Unyielding Spirit

"Ghobbuls" were born during a difficult period of my life. They emerged from the depths of my heart as simple yet symbolic figures. Life does not always go according to plan, and at times, we are confronted with harsh realities. Yet, I chose to keep creating. Throughout that journey, the Ghobbuls became companions that quietly stayed by my side, whispering, "Don't give up hope."

My work goes beyond mere "creation." It is a "system" designed to help people connect, share laughter, and navigate challenging times together.

Hoodie’s Collection: An Introduction to My Creative World
My fashion, art, and published works are all gathered here. I invite you to explore the world of my creations through the following collection:
The illustrations featured here are from a picture book accompanied by the haiku, "Hand Sometimes Hands." In addition to this, there are three other books—” Look at Yourself in the Air” and ”I'm a Good Me-Me-Monster” which embody a philosophy of duality.
Please use the coupon code "theghobbuls8" to download and experience my book. I hope the intention behind my life’s work resonates with your heart.

Here, I offer four art therapy classes, featuring "essay-affirmations" that apply Japanese proverbs to the realities of modern life, fostering an "unbreakable spirit" through humor. If these positive messages and perspectives resonate with your life, please consider supporting this project.

One’s "mental perspective" is a curious thing; simply shifting it can make the world appear entirely different. To achieve this shift, however, a turning point, a "trigger" of sorts, is required. While those actively seeking it might find it easily, many people overlook it. They become trapped in their current circumstances, tending to blame their environment or others. This causes their perspective to veer in the wrong direction, obscuring the essential truth.

The perspective offered by "Ghobbuls" comes from a completely different place. That is precisely why it is so important and necessary. This is an invitation to keep this modest hope alive—as fellow travelers walking the same path—and to carry it forward together.

We sincerely look forward to hearing from those who feel a genuine connection to this work.

How your support will be used

Your support will help me continue developing The Ghobbuls Project by expanding my studio, creating new books and educational materials, producing workshops and exhibitions, and reaching more people through marketing. It will also support the creation of new upcycled artwork and provide the resources needed to build a sustainable creative practice that continues to inspire imagination, resilience, and hope.
