In Progress

Thank you for being here and for your patience

If you have arrived here, it is because it is because this part of the project is still in progress.

As it happens in dreams and in life, we keep building our projects as we go along, as we interact with others and as we expose ourselves to the work of different creators and artists.

This virtual library is in constant evolution because it is part of what goes on in my own psyche, and therefore it has its own times, imperfections and rhythms.

I guess that's what makes it so special to me, and hopefully a place that resonates with you.

Before you leave, I would love for you to take a moment to reflect on the kinds of works, atmospheres, and questions that bring you here.

In a way, this is also a great chance for me to get to know who is on the other side of the screen, connecting with this space and its content.

Thank you for your time!
