"For these works, being that they were to both combine to make opposites of each other, I had chosen the idea of taking both sides in the lifestyles of constant leisure and constant work and responsibility. One thing I've also tried to grasp at was the change and direction of which the aspect of being beautiful is taken into. Both pieces are indeed different in activity and first glance, but, when combined in the right doses, are making the necessary balance that a well-rounded life can have."
