I am fascinated by people and their inner life. Our faces reflect the things we have gone through and are going through. We are able to communicate emotions in non-verbal ways. It is through our inner world that we interface with others. It's a very delicate topic. I give my emotions to my puppets. This is why I never focus on their physicality, but rather on the emotions they express. I don't want them to be beautiful and dressed up, as most people imagine puppets. I want them to be imperfect like we are. Real like we are. And so my puppets have imperfect faces and imperfect personalities. They come from an imperfect world. And this is why they are so real. Because puppets are real beings.
