To cope with it

'learning to see the beauty of one reality(water) and the truth of another(waterlessness).'

'I would perceive the extremity of the problem something like this.You can show reality directly or you can aestheticise it in a different mode or juxtapose the two.In all these modes, the context is lost.The challenge would be to see the area which is so nebulous where you don't know what to do.How to bring art and life together: what are its joineries? The main thing is not to show the fist by imagining that you can change the world.The true area of reality is your own insignificance, your own limitation, your despair which is real, your love for life.'

'The thrust of our creative work should be to see our impotency, to face it, and through that to confront those little truths through which one can make a gesture to reach out towards change.'
