I often write about borders, prisons, and patriarchy because I know how deeply they trap us. But I also believe in resistance through softness. Through creation. Through connection. My life’s work is proof that you don’t have to be hard to survive.

I grew up bullied, abused, lost both my parents young.
For a long time, I thought fragility was a curse.
Now I see it as my gift.
Fragility made me an artist.

When I mint on blockchain, it’s not speculation for me. It’s not “IP. ” It’s not “brand building. ” It’s ritual. A frame sealed in time. A confession inscribed forever. And someday, someone will stumble on that frame and feel what I felt, even if I’m long gone.
That’s why I do it.

Social media burned me out.
I drowned in news, guilt, endless scrolling. Then I remembered: my job isn’t to carry every wound of the world. My job is to transform wounds into images, into energy, into something that can heal. I believe art is medicine.

Workshops remind me why I share.
Teaching analog photography isn’t just about ISO, aperture, or chemicals. It’s about teaching people to see. To slow down. To notice. And when I teach Web3 workshops, it’s the same — it’s not about tokens or wallets.

Non-binary doesn’t just describe gender for me.
It describes how I live, how I create.
Between mediums.
Between labels.
Between borders.
Always shapeshifting.

Goodmorning beautiful humans
When I look back at my archive, I see time-loops. A photo I shot at 15 suddenly makes sense today. A photo I made yesterday connects back to my grieving self decades ago. Art is time travel. Every frame is a portal between past, present, and future.

I often say I’m just a vessel. A channel.
Rick Rubin said once: if you don’t act on the idea that flows through you, it will find someone else.
That’s how I live my art.
Sometimes it’s not even “me” making it — it’s something larger, flowing through me.

Fragility is in everything I shoot.
A cracked window.
A trembling hand.
A tired subway passenger.
We don’t need to glorify strength all the time.
Fragility is beautiful, too.

I once thought I had to master one medium. Just be “the photographer. ”
But the truth is, I’m many things: a visual artist, an educator, an activist, a cook, a dreamer.
Limiting myself would be another border.

Sometimes I wonder: what is the future of photography?
Is it zines? Is it blockchain?
Is it generative visuals projected on club walls at 3 a. m.?
I don’t think it’s one thing.
I think it’s all of it, layered, folded, interwoven.
The future of seeing will not be flat.

NFT Paris was hard.
I expected kinship, found capitalism.
IP instead of art.
Brands instead of heartbeats.
But maybe that disappointment was a gift — it shook me back into remembering why I’m here.
I’m not here to sell you perfection.

People often ask me why I still shoot analog when digital is faster, easier, cheaper. Because analog slows me down. It forces me to breathe between frames. It makes me see.

I’ve lived through enough to know that fragility is universal.
Borders, gender roles, capitalism — they all pretend to make us solid, unshakable. But stand in the right light, and you’ll see how thin the veil is.

Some say photography is just documenting. I disagree.
Every frame is an interpretation, a distortion.
The angle I choose, the light I embrace, the second I decide to press the shutter — it’s all energy sculpting reality.
