"The wave is force, strength of sensuality; it is water, it is fire. If you look through traditional African art, there is always a wave, and I took the wave many years ago as my alphabetic tool. I use it the way I wish to, and I wander through it. You can see that; I am happy with it. By the way, I actually concentrated my studies more in sculpture than in painting. I consider myself a painter afterwards. As you can no doubt notice, my work is very sculptural. The wave is a source of tension and energy for the mind, and for the body as well; it creates movement."
