There are many robots and strange living creatures fused with inorganic substances in my work, but I never imbue these creatures with negative feelings like "unhappiness, sadness, fear, or anger." Although they have a strange look about them, they evoke subtle feelings of "quietness, peace, tenderness, and joy."
