JUDAS: THE ULTIMATE REBEL UKULELE
To me, making a ukulele has never simply been about crafting a musical instrument.
It has always been personal — a reflection of how I see life and the limited knowledge I carried at that time. My inspirations come from everywhere: cultures, beliefs, people, books, movies, science, art, design — fragments of the world that shape me and constantly shift over time.
As I grew older, shaped by past experiences and countless mistakes, I realized that life is a constant exercise in making choices. I’ve tried to embrace diversity, to keep moving, rather than settling on a single, easier path.
I choose to focus on what is good, to give everything my best effort, and to aim for a life free of regret — even when I know that perfection is never promised.
Still, every choice comes with its share of doubt. Am I doing enough? Is this the right way forward? These questions have followed me through every decision because I am the one who carries the responsibility.
I’ve learned that people often dwell on what went wrong, fixating on the mistakes of the past instead of turning them into lessons. I’m no different — my failures stay with me, but I hold them as reminders, not weights.
What I’ve come to accept is this: change is a choice. Growth is a choice. Forgiveness, letting go, or holding on — they’re all choices.
That’s what Judas symbolizes for me. Not just betrayal, but the eternal presence of choice — between light and dark, right and wrong, self-forgiveness and self-condemnation.
It is always your choice. How you see things, how you respond, and who you become.
You might sense this belief reflected in other series I’ve created: Arete, Sisu, Quark, Livingston, Supernormal, and more.
