I am a traveller who travels through ideas.

Put simply, I am a 17-year-old high school student. Someone who looks at the mind and the universe with a deep sense of wonder, and who seems to breathe through a passion for neuroscience. Because the human mind opens onto a world without end.

Yet philosophy, history, and literature have always been part of the foundation upon which my thoughts have grown. They have shaped the questions I ask, the connections I make, and perhaps even the way I see the world.

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of working in a laboratory. While searching for one, I came across another truth: I already had a laboratory of my own.

My life was the laboratory I had been looking for — temporary, imperfect, and entirely my own.

The questions I wanted to investigate had always been there; they were simply waiting to be asked. Following them sometimes felt like stepping into the other side of a rabbit hole — with a little fear, a little uncertainty, and a curiosity just strong enough to keep me moving forward without knowing where I would end up.

Once I realized that I already had a laboratory, I began to use it.

Questions born from my experiences, my ideas, and sometimes simply from curiosity became the starting points of my research. Over time, these questions grew into projects.

And then I wanted to share them.

I wanted to open the doors of my mind wide and invite others into the fair within my mind — to wander among its questions, ideas, discoveries, and unfinished thoughts.

This website is an invitation to the fair.
