the PutYourHeartIntoit™ movement was born in my motion piece blossom. i designed the piece as a way to inspire others and myself with hope. hope is the main reason why i am alive today. the goal is to find something within us that gives our life sense and reason. life is something that is a mystery to humanity. many have their interpretations. the way i live my life is by digging deep within my soul, my heart, my body, and where i am from. where i am from is not clear because my history, my heritage, my culture were all stolen from me. i was born and raised in the industrialized civilization, but my understanding of life relates often to the ways other parts of the world think and see.

putyourheartintoit™ is about finding your own understanding according to yourself, to what you feel, to what you understand… our life experience, our culture, our ideologies, and many other factors effect our understanding. it is still important to dig deep within and find one’s self according to one’s self.

since i was born, i have been filled with life and its energy. when i did something, i did it to the fullest. i raised myself for a large portion of my youth. i was on the streets for a large portion of my life. a lot of my closest friends are not people viewed as good people by the society… even though they are good people. this taught me an important lesson about the ignorance of the masses. about the unconscious part of people’s understanding of life, which limits their understanding of the mechanisms of their own political, social and economical systems.

growing up, my ways of communication were sports, writing, and music. as an adult, the visual arts joined the club. i discovered it on my powerbook. my friend houman told me “save your money, 1 year from now, a new operating system called os x is gonna come out, and you wanna get dat!” what i discovered was that there was another way besides music through which i could express my pain. i could combine both the music and the visuals to touch the ones who needed it.

but why? i think my loneliness. i walked through hell without fear by finding my own ways and solutions… by being attentive and admiring such things as wisdom, power, and refinement. i want to help people who are in terrible situations to find the power within themselves to overcome… only if they decide to do so.

i live by the putyourheartintoit™ mentality. i put my heart into what i do. the outcome is what it is. i was never affected by another person’s opinion. what matters to me is to express myself. i am not into doing cool things. i am into what is real. meaning something that makes you feel. all i am looking for is life. and life is what putyourheartintoit™ is about. wether it’s life here on earth or in another dimension. finding joy in life. to the joy.

putyourheartintoit™ is dedicated to all the ones in the world who suffer deeply, no matter what your gender, race, or religion are.
