'I always search for a connection between people, the environment (place) of their dwelling, and Nature. It’s used to say that people are the same everywhere; but this is not entirely true, since there are cultural and social codes, the traditions and the experience of generations that can differ not only between continents and parts of the world, but also within the borders of one country. If one takes all these codes that connect people with their family, home, and surrounding territory, and then connects them together, this may make the world a better place'.
