What was the world built of?
I close my eyes and listen. I feel the wind murmuring around me, bending branches and the grass. It is dark and all I can see are shadows and silhouettes, but I feel everything more strongly, as if I were part of all this and had returned to the starting point and become part of space.
My works depict my thoughts on the way I experience and observe the environment. I feel that an observation includes more than just the elements that can be sensed from the outside, as an observation is the sum of many factors.
