“Inspiration comes from everything that surrounds me. At the very heart of these watercolors is drawing — the purest foundation of my work as an architect. A sketch often emerges spontaneously, like a breath. I never seek to rework or refine it; I let it be. I always keep a sketchbook by my side, even as I sleep. Often, at first light, I trace the form in a single, uninterrupted gesture. My sketchbook travels with me everywhere — a silent witness to fleeting visions and an extension of my inner world.”
