‘In my work I’m approaching the everyday life from someones mind. Matter that deals with time and memories are so common for us that we don’t notice these until we put these out of the normal context.’

‘I want the audience to be aware about it. How do we remember an event? What if somebody is losing control of his thinking. The combination of narrative storytelling and abstract filmmaking can be very strong. We don’t think in narrative way all the time. That would be slow and boring. Abstrakt elements in film can match our way of thinking very closely.’
