"There are so many ways to look at and understand a sculpture… and of course, in simple terms, we can say that a sculpture occupies space, while a painting is like a portal on a wall, it creates a new (imaginary) space. But also in simple terms, a sculpture speaks much more clearly about space and spatialization, about fullness and emptiness, about presence and absence. A painting or wall image is just one of the many important ways to experience art. Without sculpture, objects, or installations, we would be deprived again—as if we were living without hands just because we have feet. (Laughs)

Moreover, outdoor sculpture is what we exhibit, so it’s not about occupying space inside a house, even though many of these works can also fit beautifully indoors. They can find a place in the outdoor space of homes, whether residential or corporate/institutional spaces, but especially in public spaces… there’s no need to bring all experiences into the living room, kitchen, or bedroom.

Additionally, we can ask those who manage shared spaces to bring in such works—they can be a very natural investment, one that is easily made in many cities and countries across Europe. "
