I was always compelled by the power that a single line can hide. With the absolute necessary amount of lines you can create a whole new world, that others can see what needs to be seen. With a few lines I am able to portray emotions, to resurface memories, to portray life or even death. When it comes though to the exploration of ones inner self, things seem to become more complex, more chaotic. It then turns into a therapeutical process where the emotions multiply, a sequence of lines have hidden meanings, and if you are able to see behind these lines, you will be rewarded with your true self.
