ENGLISH
"The movement of the water, the sight of old iron bars, my cat sleeping, any cat playing, the Bodoni font, unfastened yarn, the floor tiles of a gallery, a random close up on a van Gogh, the first page of an old book, a forest in autumn, an unfortunate blot of ink…Those things that move me."
