"My gardens are physical manifestations and localizations of my understanding of things and thus faithful mediators of my thoughts, my dreams, my existence."
"Every day anew, the mysterious spectacle of life and the immeasurable beauty of nature is revealed to my eyes."
"Nature once gave us gardens, now gardens become archives that allow us to repair landscapes."
"My work is symbolic of inexhaustible and limitless meanings, whose language formulates allusions and suggestions to something inexpressible and is always profound."
