«... The basis of my credo is the expression of man's inner world not through the finished, completed forms of certain phenomena or object, but by the movement itself - the intensity - the process - fluctuations - changes in rhythm, etc. In the end, I can say that the very form of construction, the very type of construction is an obstacle, even my basic plan. It is too stiff, naked and unique ... There is no boiling of life, there is dynamic tension. Sometimes I think that the design is dead as a corpse, bezdyhanna. But if it ceases to be strictly stationary, then even the skeleton of the design becomes more emotional softness, more dynamic and expressive.

I would like to work with electromagnetic fields, with a pulsating plasma blobs in space, with movement of gases and liquids, with a mirror and a variety of optical effects, with changes of temperature and different smells and, of course, with music "(LA Nusberg).
