On His Wife
Raza said in an interview about his connect with France, “My companion - my late wife — is awaiting me in Gorbio (where she is buried). I think I need to be with her.”
Why He Worked With The Bindu
“I realised that bindu was the central seat and it was important to work with the bindu element. I understood that the panchtatva could also be the panchrang, the five colours. It is the seed of nature, the seed of creation, it is the seed as we know in human beings. It represents the universe itself,” Raza said to Daily Mail
