"I felt like I was imploding from inside. It was a time of extreme emotions, something completely desensitized, depersonalized, senseless and totally numb. I was there and not there, present and lost within my own world. The magical world that I was previously depicting as something tender, romantic, and all-consuming had suddenly become an electric nightmare, a dark twisted fantasy. I remember hardly no one from this time in my life. The bodies just flicker through my head like shadows from a flame."
​

Sexy Pizza Dance
Solo Exhibition at SET, London
12 - 29 September 2019
"I started going to therapy in the autumn 2018 and slowly realised that I saw a lot of my life in black and white, either it was a wonderland or totally worthless. This resulted in two distinct bodies of work and, then, I developed a third body of work, The Pizza Paintings. I could finally feel a grey area where I could be happy with something just the way it is and not change it. Life was no longer black or white, but red and green coming beautifully together."

"I stayed outside his flat for a couple hours in a nearby park and just waited and waited. I decided at some point to finally leave. I was not in a sane state of mind. I was in total lust. And I felt totally empty. I could either go home and cry my eyes out or go to the Tate Modern. I began the filming at the Rothko Room that same day. And within the next week or so I had assembled the first film paired with the song, “All By Myself”. I chose this song because the painting itself had a totemic quality, one solid outline of a rectangle hovering, and how it related to how I felt in that very moment: isolated and alone, physically and psychologically."
