Men strive to make sense of their existence. Ambition forces them to draw the traces of their destiny, to give names and meanings to everything they create. Forced by ambition I wanted to find my purpose and give a purpose to what I do. I walked in circles for hours, with spiritual devotion. With anger and despair. In sublime silence and then I found my answer; I create so that others see the world that I have in the confines of my imagination. So they can see with my eyes, cry with my tears, and laugh with my laughter. I design to transmit emotions, to tell stories. I want people to see what I see.
