When I go anywhere, I always have a sketchbook in my bag and I always have a pencil case full of pens. I would never want to lose an opportunity to capture something creative. I'm a very feeling led person and when I go somewhere, I feel like I have to draw something on this page. I’ll be creative with my sketchbook and pen and the same with my camera. I absolutely adore photography as well, it's a tool to really document what goes on inside my head.
I love sharing my ideas with people, I love to express something and to create a message. These pens go wherever I go even though I may not use them all the time. It's a very spontaneous feeling. Creativity is never planned. These pens will always be in my bag, sketchbooks can be a bit heavy but these pens are always here.
I would say that the process of producing my art is the same process I have gone through, and still going through, as a person. Specific colours I use in my art doesn’t necessary relate to direct elements in my life, it's not rigid in that way. It's more the method or the process of making that I experience, which I feel is very autobiographical to me. For me, I see a relationship between the duration of life and the process of making art.

無論我去哪裡，包里都會放一本素描本和一盒筆。我不想放過任何機會捕捉有創造力的事物。我很感性，到了任何地方都想畫下來。我用素描本和筆來激發創造力。這和我用相機一樣。我還非常喜歡攝影。它可以把我腦海中的想法完全記錄下來。
我愛和人分享我的觀點。即便我不用它們，我去哪裡，這些筆就跟到哪裡。這是種不由自主的感覺。我的創造力從來不需計劃的。它們會一直放在我包里。素描本可能有點重，但是和這些筆會一直在包里放著。
我認為，我創造藝術的過程和我過去以及現在的人生經歷一樣。我藝術品中所使用的有些色彩和我實際生活中的原貌並不完全一致。我並不想追求完全一致，只想通過我的創作方式或者過程來記錄和表達自我。於我而言，我覺得生命的延續和藝術創作的過程息息相關。
