In the middle of the war, I needed a break from everything related to it—a moment to rest. The news about the pope selling out the Jews was a heavy blow. My response was denial—or positivity, if you prefer to call it that. I choose what defines me, not the pope. With all due respect, I decide what I’m about: color, shape, jokes, and flowers. I feel that collage can be deeply serious, too, but for now, it was simply fun.
