‘Our lives are surrounded by flat floors and straight walls. It feels cramped to stay there all the time, so it’s a good idea to go for a walk in the forest or mountains. But why not question the flatness of the floors and walls? Road bumps and wall stains show the connection between us and the world.’ He would like to create such moments that encourage the audience to discover similar connections.
