THE INSIGHT
"I am interested in the multi-dimensionality of the human being – all kinds of emotions, such as vulnerability, anxiety, melancholy, as well as the more conventional ones, like joy and strenght. And what communicates emotion more clearly than the gaze?"
"There is something timeless that could be linked between La Prairie and my work. Also the sobriety and discretion. I especially like the authenticity of the product."
