"Art is all about nature...Most of my recent work focuses on the concrete links that bind humanity to nature. When we drink water, clouds, rivers and oceans flow through us, every day. What once might have been a drop in the Nile becomes a living functioning part of the body. When we breathe, the sky flows though us every minute, binding us inseparably to flora. The universe is poetic. I try to express that in my work."
