Artist's Statement

I wonder if our universe is part of an even bigger one, and all around us is just the atoms and cells of another larger dimension…

At times, it seems that trees are like hairs on the skin of the earth, with deep roots reaching towards my heart, and my eyes, at last, are blurred by the lost longed and branched desires…

Have you ever wondered if the water of a tree is pulled from the earth so that the clouds would friend and tender its leaves? And have you noticed how the trees are glowing when softly touched, their leaves dissolving…

Spending a life time swimming, looking for those lost and feeble touches.
