LOST INSIDE YOU
2010-2011
"Lost Inside You" depicts situations where inhibitions have been let go, enabling exploration of sexuality, gender and relationships. The images delve into states of vulnerability, points where I am open to the viewer and honest with myself. I unabashedly embody my weaknesses. Impulses are no longer repressed; rather I acknowledge the validity of urges and surrender to instincts.
The drawings also have an element of fetishism and pleasuring the self, which aims to evoke passion while recognizing the inherent narcissism of self portraiture.
