I felt like if I was on Facebook, I would probably spend my days looking at people's profiles, seeing what they do, and feeling bad about not working enough.

Religion is in every aspect of art, when it's not baroque.

What I like about baroque is the reemergence of pre-Christian religion. The art of baroque mixes ancient pre-Christian myths with Christian imagery and each reflects upon the other.

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."

Ikebana is meant to mimic life in the way it develops; it shouldn't look like it's under the control of man.

I'm spending a lot of time in the Palazzo and in the museums. I'm printing [pictures that I take] and making a binder with a mix of internet research and palazzo research that I'm planning to use for the upcoming works.
