" My first five years are moments of friendship, family, and sun because it was really when all the family was gathered and we were in that country that used to be a kind of utopia... You know there were some many nationalities, all the religions, you have the beach, the economic growth, the culture… it was something that was very rare. But when you have so much diversity, openness and richness, it happens that some day things can shift.

(…) My job is to be as open and respectful to whatever project it is.”
