About Me


Get Your Own Voice Player ManageI see things in pictures and movie snippets. Frames. Fast motion. Poetry. Music. The most minimal things can sometimes be the most chaotic and joyous. Complicated and serene. I like opposition. I like visual chaos. I like breaking things to see how I can put them back together. To see how they work. I like asking questions and having a million different ideas about one thing. I like trying to find a balance.
