For me, staying in place might mean staying with my own thoughts, even if the body keeps traveling. I might be experiencing new things, but I'm also here, with myself.

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

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.

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

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

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

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