My starting point was the search for my identity in foreign places, in places where I am estranged from myself.

When I visit new places, I like to see the markets.

For me, when I have the opportunity to exhibit abroad, I feel that the public understands some points I have raised and are open-minded and make an effort to understand my work, but there are still certain things that remain inaccessible.

I never give too much thought to the idea of universality.

If we have too much clarity, we might not be compelled to continue searching for new ideas.

One of the first issues I dealt with was the struggle to find a language, to find my own words.

One gets wrapped up in reacting to ones own reputation, which can be a kind of trap.
