‘I’ve found it hard to openly admit this, knowing and feeling guilty for how privileged I am to even be able to say this, but I really have enjoyed some of the effects of the past weeks’ lockdown. As I have begun to share this with people around me, I have come to realise that many have had similar experiences. Time to reflect, which I would have most likely not have taken otherwise and a certain sense of liberation in my creative process have been some of the positive side effects.’

This is the statement I released with the series initially, now, 4 years later, I feel like my work deserves the full honesty of its origins. Yes, indeed, it was dedicated to reflecting upon myself and the world around me, but it also represented a deep yearning for physical touch. Most of all however, it represented a truth I came to learn, somewhere in this existence outside my usual concept of space and time: if you take away everything else, at the core of it all, I really do love who I am and who I am becoming.
