´In the black depths of the sea there exist aquatic creatures who create light out of themselves. It is one thing whom occur to me. What we see before us is just one tiny part of the world. We get into the habit of thinking, This is the world, but that’s not true at all. The real world is in a much darker and deeper place than this, and most of it is occupied by jellyfish and things. We just happen to forget all that´, 2012. Plastic balls, (dyptich), plexiglass, pedestal
