He created ‘TINITUS’ as an inclusive universe where all are accepted and diversity is welcomed, where anxiety turns to artistry, where trauma transforms into expression. In the designer’s own words: “…‘TINITUS’ is a world within sound- the only access is vibration. It’s a world of escape, not escapism … ‘TINITUS’ is about colors so loud that you can hear them. And it’s a place where you can repaint your past where it was once so dark in a new, vibrant color.”
