Artist statement

"El yo y el Yo"

Deep within myself, another I live in, I talk to me, and only I have the illusion of diving deep in the dark,
That ’s why it ’s easy to go wrong.
Art in the depths of a dark cave
The structure of the space has not changed since then.I and I talk to each other.
-Anka Oka-
