I was born into a family of artists and musicians.  Having lived in this sort of setting for these sixteen years on Earth, I do feel set apart in my ways of thinking, my views of the world, from others my age.  I try to gain a deeper meaning, see beyond the literal, and find the beauty in things taken for granted, both visually and conceptually.  A broader view makes for an open channel of thinking, and this helps me think of "what can be" rather than "what is".  "What is" will be changed to "what can be" through creation, reinvention, and revolution.
