"I want to be useful. I want to build. I want to be part of something."

"fingertip, dot, ray, gauze, sea. pine green, pink glass, eye, mine, eraser, mud, mother, I am coming."

"I will always remember you with the smell of wet earth, my 'always' lover."

"I tried to drown my sorrows, but the damned things learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling."

"My painting is a message of pain. It is the result of the total destruction of my happiness."
