❝I’ve always been endlessly curious about people, art, music, technology, everything that makes us human. Curiosity keeps me moving, questioning, and evolving. It’s where innovation begins, the spark that connects us and creates something larger than ourselves. When curious minds collide, new worlds open. Let’s stay curious.❞ — Yumi An King on "Curiosity"
