I moved house regularly and with each move I was confronted with a box of love letters that I could no longer do anything with. Past relationships and love, I could still feel them when going through the letters. I needed to put it behind me and so I came up with the idea of turning it into this work, a red heart of love letters in a gilded frame. The work represents the love I once felt.

I disagree with Monsanto's policy and strategy of monopolising agriculture and species through gene manipulation. It is dangerous, unethical and the motivation is based on making profit.

This protest sign is based on the story of a young couple, a Muslim boy and a Christian girl who tried to escape from Sarajevo during the Bosnian war. They were shot dead in the hills and lay there, hand-in-hand, for several weeks, in the eyes of the media. No one could retrieve their bodies because of snipers. In Sarajevo, 3 religions have lived peacefully together for over 500 years until the Bosnian war broke out in 1992.
