140 years of recorded sound- The British Library I stood and listened to a couple of sound installations. It's amazing how the different sounds are maybe randomly put together. But it is even more amazing having nothing to read and just listen to the sounds. A women screaming, sound of time, a baby, repeated sounds. I listened and started associating every sound with something or even a situation. A memory could be brought. Imagination is certainly created. It is just open to interpretation. Amazing.

A smell can easily make me smile or cry.

But smell and memories. Those two terms, there is always a connection.

I feel like I can make music with the sound of people's footsteps.

Natural texture prints. Attention to details.

I woke up today and remembered a very weird dream I had.

The time was in the past, certainly not 2017. I was with a group of friends, and everything was great. It was suddenly 2017 again, and everything was different, I couldn't seem to find all those people around me. My dream shifted from present to the future. I entered a garden full of people. I see a friend coming towards me and I ask: isn't your friend coming along as well? And she was like "I no longer know how she's doing."

I woke up not realizing what I dreamt about. Is it even possible to dream about the past, present and future together? There was a storyline throughout the dream.

Weird but keeps me thinking.

Just random prints. Kind of making use to the Autumn Leaves.

Sitting on the bench in the middle of the streets in Barcelona. I realized so many things can happen in the period of 30 minutes.

I love and am very fearful of the sea. The sea creatures are just too scary. I sometimes wish the sea has a marble tile flooring so I could safely enjoy the water.

I love writing down the weird dreams I have during my sleep.

I sometimes wish I could create a movie with them.

What makes us scratch ourselves? I mean why do we sometimes get itchy and feel like scratching our skin? What happens underneath our skin to make us feel that way?

An installation by Southbank. I like how this appears suddenly on the side of a building.

A lovely seating variation that contrasts the view of the area with its form and color.
