I like to share this wonderful quote from the sculptor, as mentioned in a recent Straits Times report:

"To me, art is about losing myself. When I am working on a sculpture, I sometimes do not step out for weeks. Creating an artwork is almost like a spiritual experience for me. I lose sense of time, space & often even myself. I treasure every moment of it."
