I failed to release my album this year... and it’s completely fine! We always criticize ourselves for not achieving the goals we set, but we keep forgetting all those things we do achieve while reaching our goals. I can sure call this year a productive one, I’ve done a lot of things that I thought would take way longer than it did. I am happy!
As for the album, I’m gonna finish it and release it by the end of February 2025 which will start my series of 2025 projects, including several short films, more photography, more music, AND more collaborations!
Really thankful for all the amazing people I’ve met this year.
Love ya’ll, stay creative 🔥
Finally some real film pictures on this page 🎞️
Shot on Kodak Gold 200 and some old lenses with a 1.3x anamorphic adapter 🎥

This picture helped me get accepted for a film program at one of Canada’s top universities, and I’m not going to study there 🤯
The image captures a distortion of a laminar water stream influenced by low-frequency sound waves, and this was my answer to one of the artistic visual tests as part of the university application, which you can see on the third slide.
Meanwhile, on the second slide, you can see the “backstage” of this project. Using some advanced tech (duct tape), I attached my speaker to the tap. When I set up a very short exposure time on my phone, the low frequencies synthesized on my laptop began curving the water flow in a variety of funky shapes which I could alternate by adjusting the shape of the sound wave.
No editing was allowed in this task. To be honest, this was quite a challenge for such a post-production nerd like me, keeping in mind the fact that I didn’t have any studio gear or a camera at that point
Though war and personal financial circumstances made me reject the offer of my dream school, this whole journey itself, starting from realizing what I want in life to receiving acceptance, has forever changed my life, opening up tons of opportunities and, more importantly, shifting my mindset to “everything is possible; every wildest idea of yours can make it to life with proper action”. And that’s why I am where I am today, at the point where my life is better than I’ve seen I’m my boldest dreams.
Having given such blessings you naturally start questioning if you truly deserve it all. Over time, I realized, the right question isn’t “Do I deserve it?” but rather “How can I deserve it?”, and for me, the answer lies in “inspiring others” — this is what I have to do to deserve what I’ve got.
PS: A big shoutout to my parents, who’s been paying patience and supporting my crazy ideas, even letting me leave college to pursue my dreams ✨ They believed in me, and that’s what you should do to your kids!
My first LP album is coming out in 2024. This is gonna be the start of a new art phase in my life, which involves being comfortable with putting out the stuff I make.
Three years ago, when I started thinking about making an album, I imagined it to be anything but what it turned out to be nowadays.
This record is certainly gonna be absolutely not what you expect to hear. For some people, it might seem weird and silly, but I can confidently say that this music is the most accurate imprint of my life during those three years, which I believe were the most difficult and the most important years in my life. More on that, you’ll hear later closer to the release of the album.
This is going to be a story of more than 30 tracks dedicated to the importance of self-expression as a way to get over difficulties and keep feeling alive ✨
