“... she measures her time also through her art. The way to interpret her life is closely linked to the natural cycle: life flows, inside and outside of us, in a constant relationship with the natural elements (...) that are intertwined with our existence. The weather flows, we with her (...). The cycle is complete and has found its rhythm, its meaning. "
