"Our natural need to communicate has ever since affected our actions, thoughts and feelings. But the more borders of language, countries and societies become irrelevant, the more humans and their actual desires and emotions get lost in an ever growing world of multimedia communication. The piece Szia was inspired by the contrasts between appearance and actual being and aspects of the resulting isolation."
