"I enjoy travel and experiencing the landscapes and culture of different countries, and am especially attracted by the colour combinations in traditional costumes. Films, nature, the scent of the streets and many other elements are mixed together to give my pieces their form.

But I am most interested in what it means to be born a woman. I want to explore the strength, depth, richness and flexibility of being female.
This is inevitably reflected in the processes of my work, and my major theme is how to express a woman's interiority.
In creating my work, rather than logic and theory I strive towards developing my intuition to the fullest."

Not caught in superficial things, think about the background of the model; what kind of life (s)he makes, what kind of character (s)he has.
Then the expression or clothes settles itself.
