The first impulse I had to write the song  „Prútené'' (wicker) was inspired by the book  „Prútené Kreslá'' (wicker chairs) by Dominik Tatarka, combined with my own travelling experiences abroad. During my travels abroad, I always feel a certain restlessness and an essential longing for home. For me, the ''wicker chairs'' represent an object of peace and a time to think about where I come from and where I belong to. This theme is all the more powerful for me today, in times when we see how freedom can be violated, homes can be taken away and the peace is disturbed. Therefore, I consider it very important to know where I come from and where I have my roots. Studying history, knowing national artists and appreciating the minority whose art contributed to the development of our culture.''Wicker chairs" are everywhere in the world - those pleasant chairs, where we can contemplate, remember and indulge in our own thoughts.

Ján Berky Dušan was a violinist and ensemble leader from the region of Podpoľanie, which is located in the center of Slovakia. For me, his technique of playing the violin represents a distinct and authentic sound of Slovak folklore. In the Romani language, Paťiv means honor.
This piece is tribute.

The audiovisual work ,,Søren'' tells a true story about the experiences and coping ability connected to panic attacks. The anxiety associated with panic, which comes suddenly and without warning, accompanied by very unpleasant feelings, can manifest over time as a liberation that gradates into transcendental dimensions. This piece is named after the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. The key term of Kierkegaard's philosophy is the concept of anxiety. His thought “Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom " voices this work.
