She describes this piece as "a domestic illusion", and says: "My choice of color does not rest on any scientific theory; It is based on observation, on feeling, on the very nature of each experience." She also quotes Henri Matisse with the words: "The Chief aim of color should be to serve expression as well as possible...I discover the quality of colors in a purely instinctive way...My choice of color does not rest on any scientific theory;It is based on observation, on feeling, on the very nature of each experience."
