I'm an Independent Artist & Writer. US-Published, 100% Self-represented. Late Bloomer. Divergent thinker. My family lost everything when I was in my teens. It was a complete loss which many have trouble believing till today due to the previous size/nature of our wealth. I dropped out, built my life back up from scratch, from absolute zero and on my own when society dictated that my work life should end. Fortunately, I had bigger plans for myself. I learned fast having to work in entry-level customer service/frontline jobs for >10 years since 14 years of age, rather than teachers or in academic settings. Later in Australia in my late 20s/early 30s, I experienced my first peak of organic successes where no one knew me, in industries where the anti-intellectual working-class and independent art culture was always strong so there's no way to bullshit your way through without the real stuff. I became self-employed and for a while I had a studio @ 22 Starlight Road, Singapore, in an area that was just coming into early spring with a handful of pioneering cafes and restaurants. Elsewhere, I ignored unfair claims that I was lying about myself, my background or experiences. Being in Switzerland damaged me and I had to get out once I realized it was setting me up to go against my values. No means no. There are laws in First World Countries.

I work with the hourglass that matters. Doing quite alright at 40+ years of age I reckon! :) My work is for others, but I will deliver to the world on my terms. It's never for anyone else to decide. I have sold/leased/transferred none of my rights, copyrights or IP at any point, whether in part or full, and am the only person authorized to manage my own estate.

I'm alternately credited as Yawen Yeo-Schindhelm and Yawen Schindhelm-Yeo on documentary works other than mine, and had no say. I was also in a company called Schindhelm-Yeo GmbH of which I owned 50%, which I left in 2023 due to discomfort with how things were arranged.

I have never worked for any gaming company, I was only ever a paying customer who ran my own guild, won some competitions (Trueorigins/Trueorigin/Alphagun/Fullsick - different maps/categories) and made videos from my recorded gameplay. It's globally impermissible to put someone's name on a contract without their knowledge, consent or involvement and force them to fulfil it or try to confiscate their property and IP from throughout their life. There was some unauthorized access bypassing my 2FA hard token (designed for enterprise use), which had to be fixed up.

Aside from my own original content, I specialize in restoring creative connections and teaching it too, both with highly scaleable applications (hence .net) and in uncontrolled environments out in the field. I've chosen my own study modules since about 9 years of age (after first contact with cold conflict) but never managed to inform anyone, obv. That is, until I was observed to have done something apparently highly difficult while I considered it normal since childhood. Always happy to share solutions to global problems and help others achieve their own breakthroughs, which I did anonymously without ever knowing who the recipients were until I saw the public broadcasts. Having said that, it gives no one the right to then take from me what was never given.

“TRUEORIGIN was conceived of organically on my own,
taken from my direct lived experience and no one/nowhere else as primary source.

My works are original and unrelated to others’ works,
drawn and consciously woven from my personal, firsthand lived experience
and not from watching shows, reading books,
or living vicariously through others,
or something in a family album or museum,
nor from unconsciously carrying out others’ suggestions/blueprints.

I have no authorized representatives for my IP & estate.

Before Switzerland I have been falsely and unfairly accused of taking from elsewhere,
but this is untrue
as others then started to copy me and my likeness,
perhaps accusing and denying in order to take for themselves,
or unhappy that I left so easily,

giving what was never theirs to those who will fit into their catalogue or purpose,
as vessels marked but hollow.

They recently ran out of material.
The true original never does.

My concepts are original and independent of others,
based on my lived experience from one single life of adventure.
These experiences were acquired
and forged with authentic grit and empathy,
before & beyond Switzerland.

I could have stayed in my cocoon
and still been able to create by sampling and experiencing from afar.
Instead I chose to become someone
who went out into the world to see what ails it,
developed a relationship to it and its people.

These shape my works,
and they were never taken nor borrowed from elsewhere,
including the name TRUEORIGIN
which is based on the types of works I have incubated over time.

I stand apart from the practice of publishing other people’s works
and calling it one’s own.
I decline to change my message and true name nor follow any other
just to show up.
I refuse to have my independent voice and transcendent output narrowed and suppressed
by falsely making it about specific people or movements.

As a primary source of my own works and narrative,
I dream and do,
and I can never be destroyed.
nor led to destroy family no matter the set up.
I will show up on my own merit & terms,
it’s only a matter of time and place.

Part of me will always be a Guest.”
