          The first encounter between iwan&han at art school was one of serendipity and mutual intrigue. It was a crisp September morning, and the hallways of the prestigious School of Fine Arts buzzed with the energy of new beginnings. Freshmen, armed with portfolios and dreams, milled about nervously, while returning students exchanged hugs and stories from the summer. Iwan, a reserved young man with sharp features and a sketchbook perpetually tucked under his arm, walked into his first class with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

          The room smelled of turpentine and canvas, a comforting scent for those who lived and breathed art. As Iwan found a seat in the corner, he noticed a girl across the room pulling out an oversized roll of paper and jars of paint. She wore a brightly colored scarf that seemed to mirror her personality—bold, unapologetic, and vibrant. This was Han. Her presence filled the room as she chatted with other students, laughing easily, her hands already stained with streaks of ochre and teal.

          The class began with an icebreaker. The instructor, an eccentric figure with wire-framed glasses, asked the students to pair up and create a quick collaborative sketch based on a theme: “Connection.” Iwan hesitated, unsure of how to approach someone, but Han’s quick, confident stride brought her to his corner. “Hey, I’m Han,” she said, her hand outstretched. “Want to team up?” Her energy was infectious, and Iwan found himself nodding before he could second-guess.

          They sat together, their blank sheet of paper between them. Iwan started with delicate pencil lines, sketching a pair of intertwined hands. His strokes were meticulous, almost cautious, as if every line needed to tell a precise story. Han watched for a moment before diving in, her brush sweeping across the page with bold streaks of color that bled into Iwan’s careful sketch. At first, he flinched at her carefree additions, but soon he realized how her vibrant strokes brought life to his restrained drawing.

          “What are you doing?” Iwan asked, his voice a mix of curiosity and mild irritation.

          “Making it less boring,” Han replied with a grin, not looking up from her work. “Trust me.”

          Their differences were stark. Iwan preferred control and detail, while Han thrived on spontaneity and emotion. Yet, as the sketch evolved, something remarkable happened. Their styles began to complement each other. Iwan added intricate details to Han’s colorful swirls, and Han’s boldness gave Iwan’s careful lines a sense of movement and depth. By the end of the exercise, their collaborative piece stood out—an abstract yet intimate portrayal of connection.

          As the class critiqued their work, iwan&han exchanged glances, a silent acknowledgment of their unexpected synergy. From that moment, their paths were intertwined. Their first encounter wasn’t just the beginning of a partnership; it was the start of a creative journey that would push them to grow, challenge each other, and redefine the boundaries of their art.
