"The Tao Produced One;
The One Produced Two;
The Two Produced Three
And The Three Produced All things."

Team Destiny
We met by the river. We were just strangers. We loved the water.
Drawn to Nature and burnt by fire, we became friends.
One had a color palette for self-expression.
The other had an eye more than a camera.
And the last one had an arrow for a pen.
We were (and still are) just crazy about the outdoors.
To some, we may be nerds. But we are just believers.
We believe in the redemptive power of being outdoors.
We believe in the dramatic forces of nature.
We believe that art, in its many forms, can pick our pieces and mend our souls.
Project Destiny is the story of 3 friends who joined forces.
3 is not perfection, but 3 is balance.
Our goal is to give you what nature has given us.
A feeling of belonging.
Our hope is to transmit what the outdoors have taught us.
Possibilities.
Our mission is to add fuel to the fire.
Yours.
Jérémie Lamart - The French Kerouac
“Everything he does is magic”
Ancient times had philosophers who wrote, calculated, painted and drew. Those polyvalent people belonged to another era. And then, in the 1950s, came the beat generation who hit the road and found solace in creative endeavours, questioning conventional society. Jérémie is a combination of these two. He paints, draws, writes, but burns every label when one gets to know him. His brush strokes are rough as his spirit is sharp. Sarah Baras, flamenco dancer, said that artists pour their souls on stage. Jérémie pours his soul in everything he does. His life is a stage.
Torkel Pettersson - The Ghost Cat
“Beautiful things don’t ask for attention”
In “the secret life of Walter Mitty”, the nature photographer tells the main character that a snow leopard is called a "ghost cat", as it is hard to see, and impossible to catch. Torkel, in that sense, is a snow leopard. He can wake up at impossible hours. He can cross the swamps and end in a ditch. When nature is raw, he never judges but observes. Photographers can either be poachers or hunters. They catch or steal the moment, but he does none of it. Someone innocent once told me that “Torkel does not love nature. Torkel is nature.” If what you see is what you are, then Torkel sees nature as she truly is. Pure beauty.
