About Me

I was born: inter urinas et faeces nascimur.
The Metamorphosis from wreckandsalvage on Vimeo .

My Interests

strategic artifice and the calculated employment of subterfuge.

Practically, we perceive only the past, the pure present being an invisible progress of the past gnawing into the future.
