Ever since I was a child, I've found it hard to describe myself in concrete, definitive terms, because I had report cards to do that for me. That was, until I came across Walt Whitman's 'Song of Myself, 51' as a literature major, in which he says 'Do I contradict myself?

Along with being a visual artist, I am also a cinephile and a writer who loves writing about cinema (and subjects that intrigue me), a pop-culture enthusiast and a fumbling learner
