"It's a trade I learned as a youth… when I was unhappy… Perhaps flowers are the reason why I am an artist."

"I'm absolutely exhausted. I haven't slept in days."

"Everything changes, even stone."

"I am working very hard, struggling with a series of different effects, but at this time of year the sun sets so fast that I cannot keep up with it."

"I'm so frustrated. Nothing is working out."
