Memory, of course,
is the essence of my work
I think if we don't know our past,
there is no way
we can live the present properly,
and there is no way
we can face the future
So when all these
catastrophic events take place,
we tend to
remember just the last one
So our past
it really piles up
behind our backs,
and we don't really look at it
We don't confront it
It is very important
to bring these past events-
to bring them alive
But at the same time, I don't think
art can solve problems
I'm not doing anything for these families;
I'm not doing anything
for these victims
And that is a reality
we have to face
when we talk about this type of art
that is trying to address
political issues
Art does not have
the ability to redeem
And if I did anything right,
then some aspects of the lives
that were lost
may be present
Then maybe the viewer
can connect to those aspects
I think we all
have memories of pain
And those memories
maybe can connect with the memories
of pain inscribed in these pieces
Actually, I think it's difficult
to deal with horrible events
and tragic events,
and then turn that-
all that pain into beauty
That's something
that I find perverse
But there is-
on one hand, I think that
On the other hand,
I believe that if you want-
if you want to dignify
a human life,
then you have to come back to beauty
Because that's where we find dignity
And almost turn into a sacred space
That's the level of beauty
that should be present in the work
