Why I Care So Deeply About This Work There is a story I often tell about my big toe. For most of my life I didn’t really pay attention to my body. I lived mostly in my head. I thought, analysed, planned and solved problems. And then I started exploring pleasure and embodiment. I remember […]

Why I Don’t Believe in Chasing Happiness I don’t believe happiness is something you find. I believe happiness is something you create.
