Coming from a small village to the maximum city has definitely brought a larger vision and maximum polarity to my practice.<br \/>\n<strong>As an artist, do you subscribe to societal notions of sex and love? Do you feel a need to be rid of them?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs an artist I ask, are there any rules in love and lovemaking? Should there be?

However, I have no regrets. I was never very interested in translating ideas as an artist. Rather, I prefer creating works for transformations, in people and in society. I believe in the idea of a better world or better nation-building and creating social interventions to achieve goals for everyone.<br \/>\n<strong>What has been your greatest moment of distress, fear or exhilaration?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think the worst moments have been those of misunderstandings with other people.<br \/>\n<strong>In your deepest relationships, which is the one demon you grapple with?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe question I keep asking myself is whether I\u2019m being generous in my love.<br \/>\n<strong>What is your conception of the divine?<\/strong><br \/>\nI believe that the divine exists, and in many forms.
