     <text>Because of individual understanding there is never really one reality. Therefore reality should always be understood as layers of understandings in different contexts.</text>

    <paragraph>
     <text>My work is not illustrative of something that once existed and does not symbolise a story. Since, when something is presented as a story it is taken out of reality and is therefore not happening. As the work itself is now physical and present, it has been brought into the world of reality. Now it represents an opportunity or possibility for change in a collective or individual reality.  
The work originates from those moments of coincidences where realities join in a collage to speak of a second or parallel world. Often this creates a cultivated naïveté, since working with the extraordinary in the ordinary happens to bring out this sly abnormality.</text>
