"Today, definitions and labels are all together trendy and contradictory. Therefore, the labels you or I stick onto the work itself are not relevant. Relevant to me is to evoke awareness and participation by appealing to the viewer’s inherent nature to ask questions and perhaps look for their own answers.

And yet, attempting to explain my own practice, I contradicted myself and coined the word 'scenoart' to transcend scenography (theatre design), an interdisciplinary practice fundamental to the development of new forms of art."
