Works
The selection is focused on specific details, rather than providing an overall view of favorite works. Instead of a "Greatest Hits" Portfolio or a Curriculum Vitae, consider this a display of random memories, a subjective and partial form of expression, where an emotional or conceptual connection is more important than any opinion.
The images are here to speak those "thousand words", personal phylosophies, mission statements and such, to avoid any fluff, standard and synthetic content, all the same (I proudly own the "lazy to write" attitude by turning it into an artistic choice, says AI).
Website
The contrast is deliberate, while the analog part is supposed to be slow, the website is built with speed in mind. The search, the keyword and keyboard navigation is designed to respect the user's time and intelligence. If art is all about style, side-effects and concept, the site has to be pure utility, simple and straight to the point.
The website does not address anyone under the age of 16 or who is easily offended, the content explores unfiltered, mature and sensitive themes for some, and may be considered R-rated. Not here to provoke or impress, this is a deeply personal space, as is.
Thank you for stopping by,
