“In my work I use images from Asian and European cultures. I am interested in cultural customs, spiritual practices and world outlooks of people, and how they relate to the environment and people’s way of life. In my work there are references to spirituality and to the idea of ecological consciousness. [One-on-one is] about loneliness, reflection and being alone with yourself without evaluating the situation, just about what to do with yourself during a time of nostalgia.”
