Why MONO Exists
Mono is a film born from the awareness of a lesson repeating itself. Desire.
Experiences in my life had often led to putting significant others on a 'pedestal', casting an image onto someone. We all do this, create assumptions for people. Seeing them for what we think they are, not what they actually are.
The situations all had the same outcome, you're attracted to the idea of someone, pursue connection, and are greeted with hesitant commitment and intermittent real emotion. It's these small doses of emotional connection that keep you hooked and hoping. When in reality, your just blinded by desire.
It is hard to see someone for who they truly are, it requires honesty, not just to others, but yourself. It requires self-awareness and discipline to apply lessons you've learnt from the past to current situations; that are often clouding your thoughts with emotion. And I guess this was me learning.
I realized a pattern in my behavior and as simple as it sounds, I started saying no.
This was where Mono came about. An expression of my experiences with desire.
It is attractive, enticing, easy to let it guide your thoughts and actions and often feels like your going with the flow. But like a riptide, its only going to bring you more problems.
It's Called 'EXPRESSIONS'
I Wrote A Book
​​​​
Expressions.
​
If you are the kind of person who enjoys deeper thinking, reflecting and taking moments to be still, this book is for you.
​
"I wrote this not with anything in mind to say, but to Express myself in it's complete truth.
​
None of the writings, thoughts or poems in this book were ever meant to see the light of day.
But I figured humanity is not
something to be hidden.
​
Enjoy."
