What we had experienced in the past always makes a mark in our hearts.

"Ethno" - set in my bedroom/studio with Jimmy Wasawas as the model - is all about the strength of our faith in all things. The light that guide us to destiny and how we follow it with all our trust. We believe in the saturation of a color --- the brighter, the more positive or the darker, mysterious. What we don't always remember is that all that glitters is not gold.
