“[…] “What is is the meaning?” It sometimes can be a tricky thing; the more you show, the more it loses meaning or focus. The black-and-white horror vacui walls followed on the “random image generator” walls I did before that. Colorful, layered patterns of generic illustrative themes that were playing with the overall generic styles of triangles and patterns I saw everywhere—that big, fat, worldwide internet influence. I felt I had to push this for some time to get it out of my system, kind of a reactionary approach that gradually led to my more abstract, introvert work later on.”

It was all reduced to pictures, not experiences, day in and day out. It offered an amazing insight into so many lives, although you never met these people for real. It was very addictive, though you were only supposed to post one picture a day.”
