The beauty I find in nature, in a one-hundred-year-old tree and a starry sky, in the work of men, in a book or film that opens my mind, in people with a pure soul, fertilize me. I felt frustration in interrupting projects but sometimes also relief in freeing up space for something else. If I […]
Unfinished is entering a somewhat childish dimension. It means remaining in that volatility of children, who are obsessed with one thing for three days, after which their interest is exhausted and they move on to something else.
