Is this a dream? Or a dream within a dream?

I’m drawn into people who has ambiguous qualities in them, when they stand in front of a camera, they either become very crystal clear of their own image or have some sort of ambiguity like clouds drifting. They live their lives with trial and error and I think that’s very wonderful. I have my moments of lost and ambiguity of my own personal life, but when I meet people in the same way, I think to myself maybe that’s alright.

What unexpected situations made you who you are today?
When I was a child, my parents took me to a movie theatre close to my house, I saw Princess Mononoke.
It had these old fabrics and pottery. That’s when I was got really into the primitive design aesthetics.

What gets you excited and driven to achieve?
Works of art that I saw that gave me a huge impact, like timeless movies or music for example, I would like to make a timeless art too.

How has your style changed overtime?
It never did, and probably never will.
I always liked what I liked..

What’s the most interesting thing about you that we wouldn’t learn from your work alone?
I always want learn about other people I meet, but I really don’t understand about myself. Till this day I’m trying to learn who my real self is, maybe looking into my own work is the best I can understand who I am.

What aspects of your work do you find the most fulfilling?
Creating as a team, and when the results are beyond my expectations.
