Born in 1995 to two loving parents in the San Francisco Bay Area. The only child. Described as sensitive and alert since I can remember. Still sensitive and observant, although I did numb it for a long while. Learning to alchemize my sensitivity into the written word. Alchemizing my hyper vigilance into frames on strips of film to show others how I see my environment. Learning that the curses of sensitivity and hyper awareness are gifts, they create the foundation of my creativity and self expression. 

So, what is this? It’s my way of getting to know myself, digging deeper and deeper into who I am. I felt compelled to share this exploration with you all, intending to share my experiences in the hope that it helps someone somewhere, especially myself. 

My middle name is Oswald, named after my great grandfather. His nickname was Jack. From what I hear, I looked like him when I was born into this world. So maybe this is Oswald, “Jack”, living on through me. I feel like I have lived multiple lives since 1995, each with their own moment of death and rebirth. My most recent transformation began at the beginning of 2024, and this site, this expression of self, is still growing and blossoming. It’s my favorite yet and I am so excited to continue sharing what I find with you, something us only children aren’t known for doing. 

Welcome! I am so glad you’re here with me.

Oswald
