News about the evolution of an installation in the making
SKINT began as a work about poverty which is precarious to represent in images without falling into stereotypes and pathos.
I soon found that my attention was becoming centered around WANT: lack/desire simultaneously.
The gnawing emotional gap that needs to be filled by food, drugs, sex, material objects, beauty, fame, youth, education, health, purpose, spiritual enlightenment…..
Thirst/craving/longing is amplified when basic needs are not met but is present in all social classes.

The work has since developed new elements which will be presented to you next time.
