*POWER OF THE GLYPH:
At the heart of my work lies the transformative energy represented by this symbol, known as the Philosopher's Stone or the Seal of Alchemy. Its layered elements reflect my approach and values:
- The small central solid circle (added here) symbolizes gold, representing achievement, transformation, and ultimate potential.
- The outer circle represents the void—pure potential waiting to be activated.
- The surrounding square signifies thought, which ignites this latent energy.
- The encompassing shapes embody balance, growth, and innovation, aligning with my philosophy of turning raw ideas into brilliance.
This glyph is more than a symbol—it embodies my creative alchemy, transforming vision into reality and potential into lasting value and impact.
