I've been a street photographer for a long time, but a few years ago, my entire relationship with physical reality changed. During a ceremony in Oaxaca, Mexico, I flatlined for 20 minutes.

While my physical body was down, I experienced a complete detachment from my ego, looking down at the scene before entering a state of total clarity in a vast void. Pulling back into my skin felt like slamming back into a heavy avatar.

The strangest long-term effect? It completely rewired my visual cortex. I returned with an intense, hyper-focused sensitivity to earthly contrast, vivid colors, and raw textures—which completely transformed my art.

I went deep into the mechanics of this shift, the story itself, and the philosophy of the "void" in a recent hour-long interview with the Abracadabra Sisters.

Thought the late-night crowd here would appreciate the deeper metaphysical side of the experience. You can watch the full talk here:
