BETWEEN SIGNS & LIFE

“Sometimes it takes the absurdity of the artistic operation to bring some sort of sense  to a situation that stopped making sense” - Francis Alys 

In our everyday life, we encounter various prohibition and regulatory signs that restrict certain human activities.

This series of works responds to the way of maintaining balance in the absurdities and conflicts through the metaphorical use of banned signs interfering with pictorial illustrations and symbolic codes.  The blurred face opens up a dialogue whether it’s a signal of acceptance or hiding true self.

The vibrant and bright colors deliver an intense feeling of dreamlike fantasies which allow viewers to go beyond what is seen by creating linkages between concept and visual experience while being teased by the underlying content beyond.
