"The idea for Ten Minutes Before Afternoon came from a desire to explore human emotions, fleeting thoughts, and moments that often go unnoticed in the rush of life. I wanted to create a book that captures the beauty of simplicity through poetry, tanka, and quotes. The structure of the book was inspired by my love for different forms of expression, and it felt like the perfect way to share my reflections. It's a deeply personal project, blending creativity and introspection, and I hope readers find a piece of themselves within its pages."
