As artists we are especially obliged to find more memories, to find those memories that are hiding behind known memories, and that sometimes, by themselves, appear and disappear again. Sometimes through associations, sometimes through certain moods, and sometimes we can’t even fathom why. Due to the very nature of real creativity - creating the new instead of perpetuating the old mechanical, same - WE need to find those memories - this is the fuel that is necessary for our future new work. Finding those memories, that are still nameless, unknown to us, in ourselves: the missing memories of our future.

My interest lies in creating memory capsules of life on Earth. We have built up such a massive civilization through the history and our technology and science are advancing exponentially, whilst nature is gradually decreasing in proportion to human expansion. Even we look for another civilization and life-friendly planets in outer space like we are already searching for another dwelling. Will we miss nature when it’s lost? How would we feel when looking at Pale Blue Dot from a new home?
