It had a deep #fuckit attitude that surpassed the trends of its own time without trying to be a rebel, but by being loyal to an internal logic where a deep investigation takes place in respect to the landscape which was carefully created over the years and who’s aim is to share its discoveries in an intimate way without being ashamed of its own sensitivity.
