A personal reflection on a lifelong relationship with death — from childhood fascination to teenage obsession, from cinematic awakenings to adult burnouts.

On Gratitude – Part 1
A reflection on the four “Ides of March” that shaped my creative life.

It is both a thank you note and a reminder of how far a dreamer can travel in four-year cycles.
