Changing the World: A Journey Back to Technology.

They say, “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” That line resonated deeply with me as I started reading Steve Jobs’ biography. It wasn’t just a quote—it was a wake-up call. The intersection of technology and humanity is where greatness lies, and somewhere along my journey, I had lost my way.

Years ago, I made the bold decision to leave the tech world to dive headfirst into the realms of art and business. While I grew as an artist and entrepreneur, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had abandoned a core part of myself. As I reached one of the lowest and most confusing points of my life—living in New York, trying to piece it all together—a conversation with a brilliant Japanese friend, Ken, became a turning point.

Ken saw something in me that I had forgotten: my deep passion for technology, art, and humanity. He told me it reminded him of Steve Jobs. His words planted a seed of hope and curiosity, nudging me to pick up Jobs’ biography. Ken reminded me that before I ever picked up a camera, I was a tech nerd to my core.

My journey into photography was born out of my fascination with smartphones. As a teenager, I spent my McDonald’s paychecks buying and reselling used phones, not for profit but for the chance to explore their cutting-edge features. And don’t get me started on digital pens—I’ve owned almost every model ever made. For years, my obsession with Samsung Note phones felt like more than a tech quirk; it was the perfect marriage of art and innovation.

Yet, despite my love for technology, I left it behind to chase the call of art. In hindsight, I didn’t need to choose between them. I had thrown out the “tech baby” with the bathwater, only to realize now that it’s not too late to bring both worlds together. My tech “baby” may be a teenager now, but the beauty of life is that we can always return to what we love and build something new.

With the AI revolution unfolding, I feel a growing excitement—a sense of responsibility even. The idea that I could combine my experiences in art, technology, and psychology to create something meaningful has reignited my belief that I might actually change the world.

This isn’t arrogance; it’s a sense of duty. Every artist feels a void, an unshakable urge to create. For me, it’s not about altruism—it’s about feeding both my passions and seeing what I can offer to the world. I’ve accomplished much as an artist, but I now see that my love for technology was never truly lost. It’s time to embrace both.

I believe that each person holds a unique combination of passions capable of making a difference. The challenge lies in having the audacity to believe in yourself and the courage to take risks. I can’t afford not to try. If I don’t, my soul will wither, and resentment will take root.

So here I am, recommitting to my journey—with faith, hope, and the willingness to fail boldly. Whether I succeed in changing the world or not, I’ll infuse my creations with positivity and act in harmony with the universe. Stay tuned; this is just the beginning.
