A lot of my work deals with this emotion of discouragement or fear, and this emotion cannot be approached without humor because then things become indigestible. You don't want to eat them; you don't want to be in contact with them.

In the traditional Ikebana things always have to be asymmetrical, because in this they look more natural and balanced.

I want to experiment with new techniques and become a "traditional baroque artist."

I'm working on new techniques. I'm trying to find a way to make fresco that can be detached from a wall, and I'm trying to find new people who can help me work on a very large scale in bronze.

Is it possible to be a revolutionary and like flowers?

For me, it would be very difficult to express an opinion about our times without humor. I don't think you could do that.

I'm interested in making works for museums in a way that make the space feel domestic, and I'm always thinking about how this work will be part of someone's daily life.
