My sculpture allows me to re-experience the fear, to give it a physicality so I am able to hack away at it. Fear becomes a manageable reality. Sculpture allows me to re-experience the past, to see the past in its objective, realistic proportion.Fear is a passive state. The goal is to be active and take control. The move is from the passive to the active. If the past is not negated in the present, you do not live. You go through the emotions like a zombie, and life passes you by. Since the fears of the past were connected with the functions of the body, they reappear through the body. For me, sculpture is the body. My body is my sculpture. (292)

我的雕塑使我能夠重新體驗恐懼，使其具有真實感，因此我能夠克服它。 恐懼變成了可以控制的現實。 雕塑使我能夠重新體驗過去，以客觀，現實的方式看到過去。恐懼是一種消極狀態。 目標是要積極主動並掌控一切。 從被動到主動的轉變。 如果過去不能否定現在，那麼您就不會活著。 您經歷著殭屍般的情緒，而生活卻流逝了您。由於過去的恐懼與身體的功能有關，因此它們通過身體重新出現。 對我來說，雕塑就是身體。 我的身體是我的雕塑。 （292）
