I wanted to be a musician, a cartoonist or a sensational celebrity. I just happened to be none of them, but I have something to do with all of them. I produce the thing that inspires us to become "someone". Nowadays, it is hard to correctly appreciate who you are and who you want to be. My visuals bridge the reality and the ideality. We exist through the moments we capture with a camera, which perhaps will never appear the same again, so I draw and paint. All of our creations are what we record; we record ourselves. I love music, drawing, films and writing, which can convey the sense of existence not limited to what you are here and now. I provide videography, photography and stories behind.
