As she writes: "My ambition in life is to give its unseen dimensions,
to find the relation of the human soul with the invisible, which surround the
visible with mystery, thus giving visualization and meaning to things. I believe
that with this relation, from the invisible, begin the paths of self-knowledge,
the psycho-graphical paths of my novels."
