Describe your perfect day
The perfect day is enjoying an early swim at the beach and spending the rest of the day working at my studio space.

Best book ever read?
The Building by Franz Kafka, and by that I do not refer to The Tower which is a more well-known book of his. The poetic narration that is yet so vivid to visualise is what attracts me to Kafka’s writing. In the same way that this book touches on day to day struggles and the safe spots to build on.

Late afternoons at Coral beach, family time and play.
