Kalhumen

Its DNA is the contraction of “Ka” from the artist’s name Kami and “lumen” the unit for measuring light.
In ancient Egypt, “Ka” is an immaterial component of gods and men. It is a complex notion which has several meanings.
The “Ka” designates the vitality of a being, namely the faculty to accomplish all the acts of life. It is a double spirit or vital energy.
