Values
When Love and Excellence come together, they create value for all. They shape meritorious character in those who offer their hand, not to rescue, but to help others build themselves. Love and Courage refine the soul; misapplied Fear and Anger breed hatred and lead to downfall.

KK's Journey
Growing up, my first encounter with the life of Buddha came through a comic book, filled with vivid illustrations that captured my imagination. At just five years old, the seeds of visual storytelling were planted within me. This early exposure not only deepened my spiritual inclinations but also sparked my fascination with the world of film. I began to see life as a series of impactful visuals, envisioning my own journey and experiences as a series of paintings — each canvas a scene from a movie, with another actor portraying my role. I hope you find joy and inspiration in this visual narrative of my life.
