It all started when my mom made me practice the violin at the age of 5. I practiced 2 hours a day, every day for the next 20 years, and ended up majoring in classical music. But my mind was in the fine arts (filmmaking, photography, sculptures and installation) fitness, and philosophy.

At 14, I aspired to be a cheetah, the fastest animal on the planet. So I began sprint training. While looking at sprinters’ physiques, I discovered that function and form were identical, so I started benching, squatting, and deadlifting until I could bench 2X my body weight, squat 400 lbs, and deadlift 500 lbs raw. I also hit a 40-inch vertical jump, exceeding the NBA average of 34 inches.

This quest for speed and vertical jump capabilities led to projects focused on strength, power, and subsequently, bodybuilding.

The physical aesthetics project of sculpting the meat-suit went hand-in-hand with the mental aesthetic project of molding the most philosophical, creative, and artistic mind, which then gave birth to performance art projects like playing the violin on the street in my underwear.

All the while there was an ongoing filmmaking project documenting every other projects in an infinite loop that closes on itself, like a cosmic snake biting its own tale.

All of the above gave birth to the consciousness exploration project, and through the practice of meditation, all of my interests converged into one symbiotic unity - Athletics, Aesthetics, Awakening.

Everything I was doing were fueled by 2 fundamental questions all human beings have asked.

1. Who/What Am I?

2. WTF Is This? (The Nature of Reality).

I consider life to be an ongoing process of transcendence: pushing the layers of mind, body, and Reality to the edge of their boundaries. And then taking a quantum leap into the unknown until everything collapses into a singularity that manifests all of existence.
