"I do not perceive the picture as a still life – although it definitely qualifies. It is so highly charged psychologically that it is anything but still. It radiates tension. The individual elements merge into an overall image that defies description. Words fail as the image I take in with my eye goes beyond words. It directly pushes all my emotional buttons and forces me to think about my own entanglements."
