I am against the idea of the end, that everything culminates in paradise or judgment.

What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.

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

Art maybe the only space where an indvidual can be utterly free to question himself, as well as his relationship to his God

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

I believe in empty spaces; they're the most wonderful thing.

I grew up in a forest. It's like a room. It's protected. Like a cathedral... it is a place between heaven and earth.
