2025 - New boundaries

2025 has been a year of discovering new boundaries. While deepening knowledge and skills in matter I was already familiar with, I also made progress in new areas. The complementary of sustaining the good and elaborating on new interests can keep things fascinating. Distribute the energy you have and try to focus on the things you want to prioritize. A curious mindset can take you far … Making this collection also reminds me why I do this: to be curious, to discover and to be impressed by nature's might and urban creations.

Keep exploring everyday!
