'Religious rituals are complex and layered. As I have participated or confronted these religious rituals throughout my life as a non-believer, I have also personally experienced spirituality yet also felt it as an unfathomable human behavior and performance. Buddhist rituals give me a kind of metaphysical intimacy with the concepts of reliance, unconcern, death, extinction and absolution, while being charged with an enormous incomprehensible energy. I wanted to convey the immense complexity of this labyrinth-like spiritual constructions and the energy they create in my work, which I execute through obsessive observance.'
