What drives me is creating. Just creating. But at the same time I have a hard time feeling like I have the right to create. It sometimes feels selfish.

When I was a kid, I remember my teacher telling my mom that I could never keep my attention. I remember the seagulls outside the classroom window.

I remember a television show about a boy whose attention was as bad as mine. His attention would always get caught by something random, and then he would imagine a whole story behind it.

That quality drives me. That unintended pause drives me. I want my work to make people pause like that and imagine. I want to make caring objects. Objects that sympathise with you, and objects you sympathise with. I want to take people’s attention, not in a selfish way.
