Intrigued, he set out on a journey of discovery that was to take years, full of such strange coincidences he was ultimately convinced that Nahui Olin herself was showing him the way. Fifteen years later, Zuriᮬ who had given up everything for his obsession, exhibited the artist’s work for the first time.
