“The Culture in which one lives, especially during childhood affects the entire way one perceives what we call reality. Our perception and our being in the world are bound up with the way we lived when we were children. No one leaves childhood unharmed. It is something we must deal with for the rest of our lives. And I think art is indeed a way of doing so. It allows us to revisit and re-interpret the pain and trauma of the past. In my case having lived in a country ravaged by more than 30 years of armed conflict this approach is particularly meaningful. The subjects of fear, loneliness, emptiness and absence are deeply embedded in my work”
