"As I was going through my pictures, I came across a folder full of randomly selected photographs from various projects or sources that maybe discontinued, or cannot be categorized. It was all over the place piled up like dirty laundry. There are personal stuff, pictures of christian devotees practicing their penitence, behind the scenes pictures of porn shoots, and my mislabelled Kinbaku sessions.

But there is something in them, a pattern of some sort that suggests how I instinctively map my memory through pictures. Giving it a diaristic take of my transgressive personal life."
