 In the beginning of this year, I had a trip to Kenya, which was really just one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had, one of the most beautiful places I've been to. I've seen different parts of it, you know, a little bit of the ocean, the culture, the food, the city. But the most fascinating was visiting the Masaimara, which is the national park there, and it's home to hundreds of thousands, I think, wild animals, and seeing those animals in their natural habitat just called for an emotional response. When I came back, I was just so inspired by all the beauty, and at the same time all the sadness, you know, how few of them are left, and how badly humans are treating the wildlife. So when I came back, I immediately decided that I should paint, because painting is, you know, back to basics. It's where I come from, it's my background. I've been doing it for over 20 years. I think it was a big, very important decision to paint for my BA show at the end of three years of studying experimental media, and I'm very happy with this decision, because I think painting is the medium which, to me, is the most powerful, and it's the one that I know the most, and I feel the most comfortable with. And I think the paintings which I've created, they show really well exactly how I feel on this subject of the wildlife. I didn't want to make it, you know, tearful, because it is already set as it is. So instead I decided to kind of celebrate the beauty of what's remaining, really.
