Mother of Pearl
I recently came across this song after not hearing it for a very long time; I’d almost forgotten how much I like it, how fun a good song can suddenly make my day, especially one about finding those little pearls in your life that you hold onto with all your might.
In light of recent transitions [...]
We have to because we must
Sometimes, when I hear or read statements along the lines of: ”Real is better than numb, so we have to keep walking, we have to keep the ground beneath us,” it makes me want to scream out loud. It conjures images of the garish, prefabricated houses situated in overbearing housing developments that litter the [...]
The beat that skipped my heart
A and I decided to take a road trip to the black beaches of Southern Iceland in mid-January.

Donnie Darko (2001)
Written for Filmosophy:
SOMETIMES THE SEARCH IS ALL WE HAVE TO KEEP US GOING
The experience of trying to decipher Donnie Darko is kind of like buying an old, dusty jigsaw puzzle at a yard sale and then trying to assemble it, only to realize that you may not have all the pieces to complete the picture, [...]

Ideal
Self-portrait
Here is the body of a person, his torso facing you, head and feet in profile.
There is a twist of space between the front arm and the back arm. Time goes there.
The arm that turns toward you is personal, the arm that turns away is the impersonal.
These flows that built the space go on building [...]
