I am not against modernization
but we have to find solutions for the problems. We took from
our ancestors a lot, and now we have the responsibility to choose
what to do with it. We cannot return to a primitive life, but
we can find the creativity to solve the problems.
When I work with primitive materials, I want people to rethink
the content they stand for. It does not symbolize that I want
people to return to the forest. As an artist you are not an expert
on environmental problems, but you realize that they exist. Then,
if we are sincere about the situation, we can directly show it.
But it is not the work of the artist that is the solution. It
is the results of the work and what kind of thoughts it inspires
in people.
