  Authentic Creation

  Oct 17, 202518 minS0

  <p>I’ve been making videos of myself doing absurd things I’ve never done. Competing in a Japanese Game Show running away from chickens. Pitching a product on Shark Tank. Speaking in cadences that are mine but perfected. In some cases they are smoothed of the verbal tics that make me human. In other cases, it’s a case of gibberish in absurd levels.</p><p>I’m using Sora. The prompts are mine. The face is mine. The ideas are mine. But I didn’t animate a single frame.</p><p>Am I creating? Or am I commissioning?</p><p><p>Th...

  The Daily Practice of Seeing

  Oct 3, 202512 minS1

  <p>So I used to live by my Google calendar. You know what I’m talking about, right? Those color-coded blocks stretching across hours and days. Purple for travel = new adventures planned. Red for birthdays. Yellow for holidays.</p><p>And I thought THAT was my life. The trip to Boston. The California vacation next month. Time was just... the stuff between destinations. The boring parts you endure until the next Instagram-worthy moment.</p><p>But here’s the thing: I was completely wrong about where life actually happens.</p><p>Our theme music is "Light" by The Never Project.</p><p...

  The Closest Unknown

  May 24, 20256 minS1

  <p>I never met my father’s father.</p><p>My grandfather.</p><p>He passed away well before I was born, leaving behind only a few photographs and no videos or recordings of his voice. Yet he exists in me, his genetic legacy is coursing through my veins, passed down through my father and now extending to my children.</p><p>This is a paradox. Someone being simultaneously unknown yet intrinsically part of who I am. I have called this painting series "The Closest Unknown." He is the only grandparent I never met.</p><p>So far, I've completed el...

  Living in the Hyphen

  May 17, 20257 minS1

  <p>I was first called a “chink” when I was in 1st grade.</p><p>I didn’t know what it meant. I’m not sure the kid that called me that knew what it meant either. But he was taught the word, and taught what the physical attributes were to associate that word to a person. I felt confused.</p><p>That moment (brief as it was) became the first entry in what would become a lifelong catalog of moments when I was reminded that to some, I would always be seen as different.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access t...

  Soft Yet Unstoppable

  May 10, 20258 minS1

  <p>“Be Like Water.” You may have seen these words attributed to Bruce Lee on a t-shirt or bumper sticker. Here is the full quote: "Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."</p><p>I keep going back to these words by Bruce Lee lately. They've become my lifeline during these hurricanes I've been weathering. I keep turn...
