It's about time.

The Rolling Now emerged from my failure to keep pace with an accelerating world.
In trying to absorb and make sense of the constant stream of developments, to extract meaning and direction, I found myself increasingly disoriented. 
The more I reached outward for orientation, the more I lost my inner compass. The rhythm of a globalized society—fueled by urgency, novelty, and distraction—drowned out the subtle melody of my own pace.

But my path is not to retreat from the world.
I remain deeply curious, even excited, about what humanity will create with its new tools.
In my search for balance, I discovered a key: my relationship with time.

Time is the essence of life. 
The way we shape our time is the way we shape our being.
Each decision about how to spend a moment is also a statement about what we value life, and who we are becoming.

Time is universal—yet deeply personal. 
It touches everything we do, yet remains elusive. 
We are immersed in it, moved by it, shaped by it—and yet we barely understand it.

The Rolling Now is meant to be my personal compendium—a place to gather my reflections on time, to meditate on my tête-à-tête with this universal life force. 
I write and curate not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler.
Through the lens of philosophy and art, I approach the deeper questions: 
Does time really exist?
What does it mean to us? 
And how can we meet it with grace?

As an artist, my main form of expression is crafting phyiscal objects. 
Things that can be touched, explored and played with. 
I rely on art to say what language can’t. 

From my contemplations of time emerged TAOO—
a kinetic timer that invites presence through material, gravity, and sound. 
It is an object that honors duration and encourages ritual. 
An invitation to slow down, to listen, and to meet time with intention. 

With The Rolling Now and TAOO, I want to inspire our dance with time. 
To support us in reorienting toward 
presence, 
pause, 
slowness, 
and being
—so that from this grounded state, we may shape a future in resonance with creation.
