"I spent a lot of time in the water as a kid. I loved the full immersion feeling. This full immersion feeling moved into everyday life when I connected with creative inspiration. It was like living in a giant art playground, bringing diverse encounters and expressions. I allowed the energies to morph into what they wanted to be, and that's how I started creating in a variety of platforms."
Ethos, living and creating according to life's paradoxical nature...
