How big is the universe? What does it mean to be alive? As long as I can remember, I see your eyes wandering between constellations, body always on the road. But as long as we are here, questions remain unanswered. What a mystery life is. You see, this story isn’t about me, it’s about the laws of nature, it’s making the invisible to be seen.

In my world, you are a mind traveler, a witness to beauty, a curious member of our world, a drop in the rapid current of our human history. You are present. You are the one participating in this unsolved mystery — the character of this story.
