If there is one thing that you can change in a previous project of yours, what would it be?
It took me a while to draft my answer, which (is) divided into two parts.
Despite the cases when ideas were changed due to technical difficulties, as an artist, I prefer to trust those past decisions I made. They were the best choices that I could have made based on where I was, in terms of knowledge base, skillset, concept and contextual understanding. I either need to fully trust every decision I’ve made or to overturn/change all of them.
After all, simply locating a recent moment, I would choose these two works. I still have some finishing work to do, but they have changed from aluminum to brass, 2D to 3D, drawing to sculpture, one piece of puzzle from a blueprint has evolved into a sculptural interpretation of that very blueprint.
