'There is a specific metaphor contained in the position of the viewer himself as well. He, the viewer, is either a complete outsider vis-a-vis the fate of the people inside the room- he is a 'person on the roof' - or on the other hand, dropping into any one of these rooms, submerging himself into an ordinary 'family' story, he understands that this is also 'about him' and he experienced the same things in his life, and he is just the same as 'they' are, the same as everybody else...'
(On the Roof)

' the only way and means to lead a worthy human life is to have one's own project, [...] to realise it, perhaps, should be inherent in every person, the project is the concentration, the embodiment of the meaning of life, only thatnks to it can he establish "who he is," what he is capable of [...] It is only from the moment of the determination of his project that his true "existence" and not just "survival" begins.'
(A Palace of Projects)
