I’m Shao Tsai, a Chinese-Brazilian Art Director who writes. Born under Cancer. Native Portuguese, Valley girl English, Hamburg-Hessen-tinged German, and Argentina-meets-Spain Spanish speaker. TV show binge watcher, Beatles lover and Häagen-Dazs connoisseur. Slytherin pride with Vampire Slayer wit. Sarcastic, quick to deliver a one-liner like a Gilmore, but as tragic as a character on Grey’s Anatomy. Write me at contact@shaohtsai.com.

Dawn ushers the first spring sunrise of the year. I’m predisposed to stay in bed for as long as it’s acceptable. However, it is the occasion of an early rise. Today shall be restless.

It’s morning. Life’s rumbling can be heard inside, its shades expand in space with inviting singsong verses and waves of joy. To venture into it is to discover one’s own readiness.

It’s high noon on the solstice, the year’s longest day. It’s beach season once more, which I’m not particularly fond of. The scenery evokes a certain fascination, it draws me into its world.

The air is dense, every breath laborious. The horizon’s overcast. Summer rain showers the afternoon. There is no need to see it – I listen – to feel as if I’m under its drops. There is sense in sound alone.

The sun sets into dusk, leaves transition as we fall back. The clock’s reset to signal summer love’s end, but one’s attachment prevails even when confronted by distance.

Netflix | Digital Escape Route Integrated with social media, Escape Route lets you assemble a personal list of enemies. Unlike Pablo Escobar, avoid detection via notifications of nearby foes and coordinated escape routes.

Audioscapes | Digital An Audio Instagram Account On social media, content is tailored to engage one’s sight, seldom with descriptive captions. To challenge the notion of Instagram, Audioscapes provides audio content for the visually impaired.

Autumn night’s guise allows for release. To flee the labyrinth, one must follow the wind as it howls. In the pursuit of beyond. In the quest to answer matters that have yet to be.

At midnight, winter hails the full moon. Under its auspices silent prayers are chanted. The tidal cycles of life exert their force, but I am guided ashore by the light between oceans.

It’s the witching hour. Something must be done to course correct. The possibility of exacting change in the world invokes wonderment, as if I’m able to hold celestial bodies, and no one can challenge it.
