Countries I Wanna Visit
Life Wisdom
The power of a soft 'no'. How light interacts with clay in a kiln. The history of Japandi design. Patience as an active form of trust.
Faroe Islands, Bhutan, Morocco, Iceland (again), The Japanese Alps, Southern Italy, and the quietest corners of Portugal.
Don’t rush your own blooming. Everything in its own season. The architecture of peace is built in the mundane routines of the day.

Random Opinions
Editorial photography, Existential philosophy, Slow travel, Artisanal craft, Minimalist architecture, and the study of light.
The Goldfinch (Tartt), Wabi-Sabi for Artists (Koren), Letters to a Young Poet (Rilke), The Book of Tea (Okakura).
Physical books are always better than digital. Cold brew is vastly overrated. Analog film is the only medium that captures time.

Hot Takes
Books are meant to be annotated, not kept pristine. The best inspiration always arrives at the quietest hours of 2 AM. I believe art should be messy, unapologetic, and deeply personal. Digital aesthetics are great, but the texture of a physical journal is irreplaceable.
