I PURSUE beauty in the unexpected.
I LOOK for emotion in the abstract.
I SEE the world as a work of art, always, even if sometimes it seems like a giant butt plug.
I EXPLORE the mind as a multi-colored, polyphonic dream machine.
I FEEL poetry is in the invisible. It’s my job to make it visible.
I THINK that an artist doesn’t necessarily need to suffer.
I LOVE the idea that if it can be imagined, it can be done.

I OPEN the doors to revolutionary collaborations.

- Montreuil StoryAward-Winning Fashion Film. Street art, as with fashion, is about expression. It’s about creating something different, inventing your own style and making your own rules to visually represent who you are. Your individual style can convey who you are, what you stand for and how you wish to be perceived. They both help to stand out as an individual and not get lost in the mess of media, social pressure and conformism. WINNER OF "BEST CREATIVE CONCEPT" @SEATTLE FASHION FILM FESTIVAL 2017 NOMINATED
