THROUGH GLASS
– I drew natural simple shapes. Some of these shapes turned into woman. Others became colored forms inspired by the beautiful Scandinavian glass, through which I’m watching the reality around me.
THE NEWCOMERS
– A. Hill is a poet who lives in a modernist utopian city, where everything is built around the same ideas. He loses his inspiration in this predictable environment, and inspired by the romantics of the nineteenth century he seeks out to the nature to find it again.
CEYLON
– A trip of exploration and self knowledge, where the person becomes one with the environment.
FACE BEHIND FACES
– It’s a game between who you are, who you want to be, who you want to show that you are. So of course, you de facto have to become the editor-in-chief of the magazine of your life.
APPRECIATE THE UNIQUE
– The infinite power lies in those who dare to appreciate the unique.
