About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find new ways of expressing

ABOUT ME

Tel-Aviv (well, Jaffa) based artist and amateur cello player. I'm easy going, trying to figure out how to travel without being a tourist, and how to tune in to the rhythm of different places. I have infinite curiosity for finding mind blowing music and arts.

PHILOSOPHY

journey / zbigniev herbert

1.
If you set out on a journey pray that the road is long
a wandering without apparent aim a blind groping
so you come to know earth's harshness not just by sigh but by touch
so that you measure yourself against the world with you whole skin

---

Kit Moresby: Tunner, we're not tourists. We're travelers.
Tunner: Oh. What's the difference?
Port Moresby: A tourist is someone who thinks about going home the moment they arrive, Tunner.
Kit Moresby: Whereas a traveler might not come back at all.
