Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Knowing by doing. Else... each person is here for a different reason, but the basics are the same for everyone
ABOUT ME
I'm a student in landscape architecture. But off my duties or not, I usually do what I have always done since my first memories of myself at the age of 3: I compose scenes of people, things and places surrounding me under the orders of my rambling imagination. I’m curious. About every little thing or being on this earth and what it is that makes them special. I look at the movement and the expression of the human body, the color of the sky, the perfume of the lilies, a city street at its most crowded moment, the doors and windows to all houses... I try to grasp at the multitude of visible or less visible things.
When that turns out as being a bit hard to put into practice, I surely enjoy a good conversation. My favorite music and books, discovering new places in the outdoors or right at the heart of the city. Cooking, yes... I'm not an expert for sure but I like experimenting. Mostly I like it when the cooking is done in more than one person.
And I dream of all the things I could do if I just knew sooner how to make my own paper. Postcards and photographs, small books… hmmm.
PHILOSOPHY
I try not to look at but see what makes things tick.
