"I scan different pages from a magazine and start working with them, I add texts until I have a perfect image on my computer, usually about a size of one to two meters. Then I start to disassemble it. I print the different parts in a factory, on different sheets of Plexiglas, and paint them some more, which changes the meaning of the colours and shapes. The rear surface mirrors, so that all aspects of the different layers can enter the game."
