I just finished watching a documentary on - half tree half man.
after watching this documentary, i felt so blessed and lucky to be borned normal:)

his name is Dede.
he is from jakarta, indonesia.
36 years old and have 2 children.
He got a rare disease since he was 15 year old,
branch like structures started growing on his legs and hands.
He had to trim them becos they will grow very long and he will have difficulties moving about.
Ever since he tried cutting them away, the branches grew even faster den before- 5mm per month!
he cant work like a normal person becos of his condition so, he perform in a circus and exhibits himself to the public to earn money to support his family.
so sad can, which human would want to exhibit themselves to the public and be treated like a monster?

haix!
so poor thing right? :(
anyway, this documentary can be found on youtube.
it will also be airing on Art Central next monday. {i forgot the timing :p }
