Art is longing. You never arrive, but you keep going in the hope that you will.

But I believe above all that I wanted to build the palace of my memory, because my memory is my only homeland.

Ruins, for me, are the beginning. With the debris, you can construct new ideas. They are symbols of a beginning.

I might have been born into a very literal sense of chaos, but in fact that state is true of all of us.

Not content, but the road the artist takes, is the interesting part.

The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories.

I am of the opinion that there are artists and non-artists. I think that this is the way it always was and always will be. I do not believe that we are in the center of the world. It is possible that there are gods who do not relate to human. As an artist, I believe that it is possible to depict these forces.
