Researcher, and art therapist
On Trace of The Tide, he says: “From afar, language became my home, while my home came to embody longing and memories of youth. Even the faces of the neighbours turned into a green song that neither withers nor leaves the memory, waving to me from the distance whenever the sun sets or the wind carries the scent of Trace of The Tide.
