Ten Thousand Entropies

Find Your

True Nature

“it has to do with curiosity”

“It has to do with people wondering what makes something do something. And then to discover, if you try to get answers that they are related to each other; that things that make the wind make the waves, that the motion of water is like the motion of air is like the motion of sand. The fact that things have common features. It turns out more and more universal. What we are looking for is how everything works. What makes everything work”,

By Richard Feyman

“entropy

with

Empathy”

My photographic/ cinematic tone of story to the world is

to offer the warmth of

what it means to be a human being.

Listening,

Understanding,

asking with curiosity,

asking with love,

….

empathy grows,

ten thousand Entropies appear,

and the Universe appears.

‘what is this?’

Water plants, save all beings.

Every perspective creates a point of understanding. To me, photography allows me to discover myself by letting me make an action. My images represent a way of life.
