"Penso la luce e l'ombra come una mente, una duplice mente solare e lunare, con una sola anima, come il simbolo permanente di tutto il mio lavoro. [...] All'ombra è legato il senso della nascita e della morte, L'ombra è il luogo occulto e materno in cui immagini e idee prendono forma. L'ombra è la prima immagine speculare dell'uomo che significa all'uomo il suo stato di tutto e di nulla. L'ombra è il sangue della luce, la metafora della fine, il nulla e il nulla è l'unica stella." "I think of light and shadow as a mind, a double solar and lunar mind with a single soul, as the permanent symbol of all my work. [...] The sense of birth and death is linked to shadows. Shadows are the hidden and maternal place where images and ideas take shape. Shadows are the first mirror image of man that tells him about his status as everything and nothing. Shadow are the blood of light, the metaphor of the end, nothing; and nothing is the only star."
