With the exception of love, friendship and the beauty of Art,

 I don’t see much else that can nurture human life. 

I’m still too young to know much about love and friendship. 

But Art… if I had more time to live, Art would be my whole life. 

Well, when I say Art, don’t get me wrong: I’m not just talking about great works of art by great masters. Even Vermeer can’t convince me to hold life dear. 

He’s sublime, but he’s dead. 

I’m referring to the beauty that is there in the world, things that, 

being part of the movement of life, elevate us.

my scraves and the canvases that were inspired from

The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe. 

The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. 

Fire and lightning and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not.

 The Upanishads 

My heart wants roots. My mind wants wings.

I am in complete awe of Tokujin Yoshioka’s mind and the way he talks about his pieces. 

He creates interiors, installations and architecture where people can feel the light with all their senses. He explores beauty born out of coincidence and beyond human imagination; his work echoes the beauty of nature with its ever-changing expression, 

giving the idea “that the design doesn’t even exist”.

The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, its tides and its depths;

 it has its pearls too
