TIMBA

So, I had this photo shoot with Ousman. But, I think more than a photo shoot. It was really a process to make a piece of art. Because I think it involved a lot of my feelings, and, of course, through his direction, through his concept, through his, you know, through his, um, ambition, of reaching to something, He transmitted this to me, and I think he transmitted me, his resilience. Also, the way of pursuing the dreams that you have to. I think he has a story. I am not the one who will tell his story. But I think I understand his story. I don't know what is, but I just feel it. And when I did these photos with him, it was with an analogic camera, I really felt connected with him, with nature, with the concept, and why I mentioned resilience, it was, because the day was, like, zero degrees or something like that. And we needed to achieve the concept. And the concept was the Renaissance, or to be born, or to pursue dreams, or to achieve something. And so, So, at 0 degrees, I was so fucking cold, and, um, I was going to drop the towel and say, look, friend. I think I cannot, because it's so fucking cold. But sometimes inside of me said, okay, no, we have to do this, because we came to do this. And we made these really beautiful pictures that, looks like I'm flying, looks like I'm enjoying my path, and this is exactly what, what I'm knowing what I think of me, and I think that's beautiful to really connect between his concept and my own life experience. I felt so beautiful too, I felt he was directing me how to pose, how to, to take, or to make the best of myself. So, I'm really happy to be part of it. And Ousman is a great artist, I think, and also, he's a great person, is a funny person, I think, I really enjoy meeting him, and I like, I like his personality, we dance a lot, the 1st day that we met, and I really wish that we can keep working together I don't know, he has a vibe. That transmits to you that the only thing he wants to make is art. There is not something else behind it. He was like, Let's make art. Let's make friends, let's be humans, and I love that.
