"I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies." - Bruce Lee
In addition to his work, Trí is a talented mosaic artist featured at the Museum of Arts in Fort Collins, who creates meaningful and reflective pieces using a range of materials. His art serves as a way to explore and express his creative vision, while also providing a welcome break from the fast-paced world of journalism.
In his free time, Trí enjoys covering art as a beat, delving into the latest trends and exploring the work of emerging artists. His passion for both art and journalism allow him to bring a unique perspective to both fields, constantly challenging himself to push the boundaries of the imagination.
