i believe in the simple gesture.  not as a reduction, but as a distillation. 

an essence that reveals the hidden core.

when i approach a text or a piece of music, i ask: "what is it about?", and try to listen, rather than impose an opinion.

i believe in the simple gesture as a way to calm the mind and open up a space for the imagination.  in a flashy, frantic and frenzied world, stillness can help us find context and meaning.
