As a commitment to my ecological self, I will stay mindful of the materials I use, choosing those that cause the least harm to the earth. I will approach design as a dialogue with nature, not a way to control it. I will slow down when possible, remembering that meaningful creation takes time and that sustainability begins with care.
As a commitment to my ancestors, I will honour the spirit of craftsmanship and storytelling that they passed down through generations. I will carry forward their respect for beauty, balance, and community by creating work that connects people rather than isolates them. I will aim to live with integrity and purpose, leaving behind traces of kindness and awareness in the things I make.
