A few things that pull me in

More than
one frame.

Stories cross into music. Games turn into worlds. A sound becomes an image, and a small detail opens another thread.

Anime / manga / imagined worlds

Fiction is
a way in.

Different perspectives, strange worlds and characters who make a story feel larger than its frame. There is room here for anime, manga and the possibilities fiction opens.

A frame is only the beginning.

Music / artists / images

One shelf
isn't enough.

Different sounds, moods and images. Music doesn't have to stay in one lane; a track can change the atmosphere, or leave an image that lasts beyond it.

A sound. A colour. Another scene.

Games / cars / small mechanisms

A map is
an invitation.

Paths, systems and worlds to step into. Then the things between categories: the shape of a machine, the note of an engine, and the details that make two things feel different.

There is more between categories.

A person, in time

Some threads
become things.

A game in the making
