"I have chosen to be a storyteller for my people through the medium of sculpture. Within these
images, I attempt to evoke a range ofthoughts, feelings, and emotions stirring within the audience;
these same thoughts, feelings, and emotions I have wrought into my work. I no longer speak my
mother tongue, yet I need to do my part in carrying on the stories and cultural myths, legends
and spiritual legacy of our people. My hope is that my hands and spirit within will allow me this
one gesture." - Abraham Anghik Ruben
