He thinks:
• “film” is an amazing collage of condensed or stretched time;• “Arts and Design” are organized visual thoughts in a static or dynamic form. While “art” is an expression, self-realization or interpretation of surrounding, "Design" is an intentional, methodical, and imaginative process used to address physical issues.;• “music” is an organized way of feeling an auditory sense;• “technology” is a ubiquitous transporter of human evolution.
