“Traveling, attending exhibitions, meeting some of the greatest designers of our time…I let the emotions flow vividly through myself. However, you cannot keep such emotions inside, as they are destined for an explosion… Though, I suppose, consequently, there is an explosion. And it is expressed in terms through my own works.”
