It has everything, even if it isn't the original tongue. We might also talk about the identity crisis because it wasn't like this before.
Elements and weathering in all ways, physically and emotionally, are expressing what we feel here.
When I first had it, there was nothing in it, and I felt panic and then wanted to keep adding.
The newspaper clippings with Tatar are from when I opened my studio, and my dad brought a newspaper. I really wanted to find some donkey images.

I was looking for landscapes.
Reflected our experience.

Whatever we stuck in it, wrote in it, drew in it, is all a part of Cyprus.
One way or another
