Where I was, where I am, where I will be.
The first time I participated within a world beyond my own I was 15. It was the moment that I left home for the first time, to experience a world without the comfort I had come to know. I found myself in France.
When I was 18, I found myself again in Italy. First in Rome, then here and there. As time turned static in one moment, it became the point to turn towards a new direction, at times even reluctantly. It has become a rhythm.
Always a new custom, a new aesthetic, a new meaning. I lust to experience this new.
