« ‘Why I?’ as a singular question, denotes multiple perspectives. For most, it is about ‘Why I?’ have to go through this/ ‘Why’ life has been unfair to me. But to the contrary, if we start asking, ‘Why I am not strong enough to overcome obstacles?’. It takes a lot of courage, but one can find a way. If the ‘Why’ here, is replaced by ‘How’ the pessimist attitude transforms to the optimist. As a text it is just about interchanging words, but in life the change brings a positive comparative difference. » . .

《As a conceptual idea based artist, I have found that writing down ideas help me contextualise it. I have been thinking about sound in relations to size, but my work more generally deals with language in relation to how it forms or experience of the everyday world. Here I am conjuring up a new idea that sometime will transform into a video. It only exist on a post-it note currently.》 . .
