“So I think that beauty is something that is not only unexplainable but something that doesn't expand the desire to explain. It is something evident, your inspiration stops, you are struck by the beauty. I think that beauty is incompatible with the concept of explanation or ownership. It should be contemplated, valued, and observed as a distance. If you approach too close to beauty , this image disappears. So, I think that beauty is to be observed at a distance; it is something unexplainable which doesn't inspire the desire to possess, it is something that overwhelms you.”
