Don't just talk, see.
Don't just see, feel.
Don't just feel, hear.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just listen, ponder and doubt.
What do you hear?
HANDS, HEARTS, SKINS, EYES series is an exploration and reflection on human communication. A metaphorical observation of today's form of connection. In our new formation of life, we are surrounded by words and voices used to call, email, tweet, share, yet, there is the potential for all of us to feel hurt and vulnerable for not being heard as the conceptions of words are lost in literal and virtual realities— unheard and untouched. One of the biggest problems from this century, which we all confront, is the prevalence of noises over voices. The world needs silence, not in the foe of words, but for fanning time for hearing the gaps of words —for feeling and pondering between the lines. Words born from silence perhaps can seek their conclusion in silence, to make a passage from silence into the world of communication through re-thinking, remembering and doubt in today's hearing definition.
From that perspective, every work of this series is done differently, sometimes I use perspex some times plaster, some done as a sculpture some are mixed-media drawings, but they all explore the same concept and form from the same research study while the visual elements such as text and colour-like reflective paints which visually create a link between all the works. each project chooses the material to whatever I think would be best for the subject matter. I’m interested in the poetic of materials and I think material and concept aren't separated from each other in the core of every practice.
When I make art, I do not think about art I think about us, how we see— the perception. That is everything and comes from interrogation, recollections and contemplation. This narration illustrates my thoughts and making process. Art is my shortcut for closeness thinking by making, aims and hopes to create visual reflections for feeling and change. After all, art has always been made from change and for change. Art is a verb!
