शुरुआत में फुटबॉल मेरे लिए सिर्फ एक ऐसा खेल था जिसे खेलने में मुझे मज़ा आता था, लेकिन जितना ज़्यादा आप खेलते जाते हैं, यह उतना ही एक सामाजिक उत्सव बनता जाता है। आप नए लोगों से मिलते हैं और नए दोस्त बनाते हैं। जिन लोगों के साथ मैं 11 साल की उम्र में खेलती थी, उनमें से कुछ लोग आज भी मेरे संपर्क में हैं, जो कि बहुत अच्छी बात है।

सालों तक मेरा एकमात्र उद्देश्य पत्रिकाओं के लिए डॉक्यूमेंट्री तस्वीरें खींचना था, और मुझे यह अंदाजा भी नहीं था कि वे किसी बड़े प्रोजेक्ट का हिस्सा थीं। ऐसा लगता था मानो मैं किसी नदी की धारा के साथ बही जा रहा हूँ—भले ही मुझे पूरा विश्वास था कि वह धारा मुझे सही दिशा में ले जा रही है।

समुद्र के ये दृश्य इंसानों के आने से पहले भी थे और इंसानों के जाने के बाद भी रहेंगे। समुद्र के ये नज़ारे हमारे होने से पहले भी वहाँ थे, और जब हमारी सभ्यता खत्म हो जाएगी, तब भी समुद्र के ये दृश्य मौजूद रहेंगे। हमारा होना कुछ समय के लिए है। सभ्यता तो बस 5,000 से 6,000 साल पुरानी है। हमारा इतिहास, चेतना का भौतिक इतिहास, काफी छोटा है।

The Seascapes are before human beings and after human beings. The Seascapes were there before our presence, and when our civilization is over, seascapes will still exist. Our presence is temporary.
