 the philosophy

Humans often see only what they want to see, listen to

only what they want to listen to, and understand only
what they want to understand.

Through As Far As The Eye, we venture deep into some of

the things our dear society has to offer. This is my open
letter, my message, my voice of what I think of the world
in front of me, as far as my eye can see: the truths and the
lies, the hope and the despair, the trust and the betrayal,
the anticipation and the outcome.

It might be the same to what you have seen, or different.

It might be new; it might be old. Now you may think:
“what would a 21-year-old could possibly tell me about
life?” Well, what you have in mind may only be as far as
your eye can see.

May this tribute evoke sparks of inspiration in all of our

hearts, as we continue to seek our true calling within this
life and beyond.
