The glance: ‘Because I am a creative, I design for myself, not to sell anything.’ The exhibition: ‘A few years ago, I exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, which was a huge privilege. Whenever I am able, I collect and get inspired. And of course, this year I submitted my work, but I didn’t get in. Next 12 months I’ll check out once more. New 12 months, new recreation.’
