Between language and silence. Books, images, films, ideas.
Two Years is a novel about love, distance, and the quiet moments that shape a life. Set against a time of movement and change, it follows a young man as he navigates desire, belonging, and the uncertain path between what is left behind and what might still be possible.
With restraint and clarity, the novel captures a time and a place, and the lasting imprint of a brief but decisive chapter in a life.

NOT IN MY FOOT is a collection of experimental language pieces.
Its brief texts unfold through repetition, contradiction, interruption, and reversal, inviting multiple paths through language rather than a single line of meaning.
Each piece stands independently while contributing to a larger field of relationships that shifts with every reading.
