What drew me to his work was the repeated motif of ‘the hole’. Many a people have talked about this hole in themselves that they need to fill in order to survive or be satisfied. Personally, I have always found the hole to be an outward catharsis. Let’s use the first photograph for example, that sketch represents me in the most accurate way because I suffer from a lot of body dysmorphia, I have always found the stomach to be my core. Many a times I have had visuals and waking dreams of me using a knife to tear open my stomach and out comes something that I don’t even know myself or something my subconscious doesn’t let me acknowledge it. For some reason, I believe the pain that I am keeping in my stomach will be released through this hole that I have to create. Signe talks about a parallel dimension within ones’ body and I personally interpret that dimension as the inner consciousness that consists of screams and cries. The third sketch is interesting because that is how I feel when I am overthinking before I go to sleep at night. The literal flatness would get rid of the burden of thought which comes with three dimensionality. The second photograph is my fear of being social and I think it speaks for itself.
