The subjects in my work appear as unidentified ghosts that can't be said to be of this world. I've decided to call them incarnations. In various religions, myths, and legends, the word "incarnation" refers to the birth or emergence of transcendent beings in the form of humans or other bodies. If "incarnation" denotes the appearance of an abstract being in some concrete form, in a gut ceremony, a shaman could be considered an incarnation of our desires, hopes, and sorrows. The incarnations that appear in my work are always new and I meet them for the first time by drawing them.

Even then he has only the most academic idea of what blindness is; only the formerly sighted have a real grip on the thing.

It's the script that gives birth to these changes and the more you try to stay true to the script, the more that happens.

The only right that an individual does not naturally possess is the right to violate someone else's liberty.
