My chronic kidney failure started becoming a burden to both my physical and mental competence, and in 2020 I underwent a kidney transplant. I have returned to making visual images purely for my own pleasure and satisfaction. I use this website as repository for my creations and an indication of my artistic and spiritual journey.
