“I put my loves, fears, doubts and humor in my works that gives it content. I talk about just being me, while the ingredients are my faith, daily life, my discoveries in the seemingly daily life. With image, sound and poetry I try to relate to nature, space and the other. Accordingly i would like to put someone else on a different track i created, just for that moment.”
