Mentally, sometimes it’s hard to cut ties with the idea that creativity is pushed away from us, as we are constantly presented with pre set content ready to consume.
It feels very live the idea that human input is becoming thin as a paper and that soon squashed and thrown on the bin! With this body of work the artist also projects himself as a victim of de humanization in two ways… fir its process, an handmade “print like” body of work and for its context where you will find barely anything besides the creature and its empty space.
These mechanical creatures found squashed inside these spaces, like paper in a basket, can act in a passive way only counting on beliefs for a turn of events or instead pushing against they’re space looking to break the box.
