2016 was a crazy year.
So much happened. Especially in my life.
So much beauty. Music. Creativity.
Looking back at these photos, I sometimes forget how much I was actually allowed to experience. It only really hits me afterwards.
What remains is one feeling above all
deep gratitude.
Grateful for everything I was able to live, feel and create in 2016.

dear Adam
the paradise is gone
let me tell you something,
you missed the last turn
I hate to say
it wasnât for you
dear Adam
the paradise is gone
All these nights
Fingers gliding through her hair
I see your hands trying to speak
But your lips, theyâre way too scared
I know youâve tried
But the truth is:
dear Adam
the paradise is gone
let me tell you something,
you missed the last turn
I hate to say
it wasnât for you
dear Adam
the paradiseâs gone
Of all these words
youâve never chosen one for her
The language youâve learned,
puts a wall
through your whole shared world
I know youâve learned
I know you still love her
and I know youâre scared
But the truth is:
dear Adam
the paradise is gone
let me tell you something,
you missed the last turn
I hate to say
it wasnât for you
dear Adam
the paradise is gone

Besides the madness, the loud music, the heavy basses, the lights, the dust and all the chaosâŚAfrican Burn reminded me of the very small things.
A coffee in the morning.A hug from a stranger.Someone helping you without expecting anything back.Sharing water. Sharing food. Sharing thoughts.
And suddenly you stop comparing.You stop asking if something is âthe bestâ.You simply appreciate that it exists.
Out there, value changes.You appreciate moments more. People more. Presence more.
You can even learn a lot about yourself in a place like this.About what really matters to you.About connection. Community. Gratitude.
Even the downs somehow become part of the beauty.And the ups feel lighter because of it.
It was intense. Beautiful. Honest.And Iâm deeply grateful for every conversation, every smile, every weird little moment in the dust.
See you at the next burn. â¨

Hey. Still processing this.
No signal. No roles. No expectations.
Just people, dust, music⌠and something you canât really explain.
Thank you for the magic.
For the energy.
For your open hearts.
For the beautiful madness.
See you somewhere in the dust.

Now walkinâ back, down this mountain
The strength of a turninâ tide
Oh the windâs so soft, and my skin Yeah the sun was so hot upon my side
Oh lookinâ out, at this happiness I searched for it between the sheets
Oh feelinâ blind, and realized All I was searchinâ for was me
Oh oh, all I was searchinâ for was me

This feeling is still lingering in my heart. So many experiences Iâve learned from. The gift of meeting so many people in such a short time. Iâm still carrying the resonance of @aware.musica in my body, filled with memories of so many beautiful souls. Thank you all!
