Strong, Brazil, Other

I can be fascinated with very little things. The clouds stimulate my imagination, and sometimes I just sit somewhere and go on dreaming for a long time. Your head is also a computer. When you're dreaming, you are simulating a world in which you are living. Theo Jansen

It is you know, what I like. Karl Lagerfeld

Believe, Everybody, Very

Own, Other, Maybe

Use, Document, Another

Through, Possibilities
