"My approach tends to be from experiments. I need the challenge. If I know how to do something well, there's no need to do it all the time because it becomes a little monotonous. So I like to find a challenge."

Text reads: This fresco from the sixteenth century depicts the "miracle of the cup", one of the miracles of Saint Anthony of Padova. The glass, which fell from the great heights of the bell tower, not only survived the fall, but broke the pavement. Many people were in the square to witness the event.
