Designer + Artist

This space is an evolving collection of reflections—a dialogue between myself and the shifting landscapes of art, philosophy, design, and culture—where, through seventeen letters, I explore the intersections of presence and absence, material and immaterial, creation and perception, not as conclusions but as invitations to question, reconsider, and see anew, mapping the echoes of thought that emerge in the imperceptible moments where ideas take form, acknowledging that art is both a process and a negotiation between the artist and the observer, the seen and the unseen, the built and the imagined, making this neither a journal nor an archive but a manifesto in motion—a record of thinking as it unfolds, resisting finality, and whether a manifesto will have emerged by the end or, like all things in flux, will remain open-ended, waiting to be continued, remains uncertain, but for now, welcome to the conversation.
