Catalogue Note
“I adore pumpkins. As my spiritual home since childhood, pumpkins bring about poetic peace in my mind. Pumpkins talk to me, giving off an aura of my sacred mental state. They embody a base for the joy of living shared by all of humankind on earth. It is for the pumpkins that I keep on going.”
