About the Item

In this series titled ‘Adam and Adam’, I return to the genesis of love. The ambivalence of intertwined bodies manifests different states of love within this couple of men. Love takes on multiple angles, whether it be tender, passionate, fragile, or tumultuous. I question the image, the color, and its power of representation. This reflection on the image unfolds through the use of color that I continuously experiment with in a staged setting. I play with the viewer’s perception to draw them into the secrets of my imagination – ‘fictions based on truth’. I intertwine the real and the fictional, the truth and the verisimilitude, what is and what exists.
