“I grew up in country where the generation of my parents were busy drawing a new flag, composing a new anthem, creating an identity for a brand new country, and this is very exciting for someone who aims to be an artist. The fact of not having the cruel weight of history on my back, gave me the huge freedom to invent my own history.”
