“Characterised by their brevity, brutal wit and underlying melancholy, Berga's works are refrains, dreams, songs, secrets told to us of failed relations and broken arrangements; they are mantras for the broken hearted or jaded among us.” — Alison Kubler
“Berga is a writer and an artist given to indepth observation of the psyche, to exposure of the essence … [to] the angst, pain and fissures of the journey ... There are few artists as versatile, whose work traverses territory at once literary, poetic, and visual.” — Louise Martin-Chew
