"POTENTIA EX NIHILIO" is a metaphor for the creative process, beginning with absence and building something of worth from that void. The phrase encapsulates the experience of starting with an empty page or canvas, yet still believing something profound can emerge, illustrating the moment when a creator transforms emptiness into potential, and potential into form. A quote that continually resonates with me as I create is, “Innovation often comes not from abundance, but from limitation.”
