ABOUT ME

I was born in the Philippines and moved to Iceland when I was 5 years old. Now I'm studying for my MA in Visual Culture and Contemporary Art in Aalto, Helsinki. My refrences might give a better insight about my personality.

Here's my blog: ragnarrael.ratata.fi

:::

bicycling!

... fairly fast on my tall bicycle and listening to music makes me feel good.

classic red, matt white and rough but pleasant black.

*(these are the colours of my red and white bike on a concrete.)

:::

lilac cadillac
red shoes and 8 screws

*(the wood under the graphics of my board is lilac and the cadillac means that it's my ride. skateboards are all about even numbers and symmetry - 8 screws, 14 bolts, 2 pins, 2 trucks, 4 wheels, 8 bearings, 4 spacers, 4 bushings. but! the deck is usually made out of 7 plies of maple wood with a single sheet of griptape. it is the rebel of the bunch.)

:::

have many things in your palms
and let the unwanted ones slip through your fingers

*(moi-tives, hi!)

PHILOSOPHY
