"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."

"I like to measure everything and come up with something really minimal in its physicality, and just subtly insert that in the space and try to highlight those spaces. And I picked spaces like non-spaces- a corridor, a hallway, a staircase, an entrance. The space that you use to go to your destination- transient, transitional space. I think it’s got to do with my experience of coming from a different culture and life as a kind of transient."
