_______feel it like a werewolf_______

“Rigid hinges in hands still twist hair into weird, aerial braids. This is why I don’t feel too upset about having been made into a human instead of a bird. Birds get to play and fly and poo without shame all their lives, while I spend mine in an office. But I can draw and braid hair. Without the ability to create beautiful, useless things, I would just be another animal and I never would have felt the satisfaction that comes from doing things which are not instinctive or conducive to the survival of myself, the care of my offspring, or the progression of my species. Art is not a tool. It’s just fun.”

“I’ve been working for years on the use of language and painting words on walls, then I realized I had never focused on silence. Language is only complete when words are mixed with silence. I was watching some videos of political demonstrations without audio, and my eye was caught by the fact that the most aesthetically relevant thing joining the people and the messages was the movement of smoke in the air. So I decided to experiment with using smoke in plain nature. I wanted to juxtapose the beauty of a medium traditionally devoted to create chaos with the romantic beauty of landscapes. They complete each other in a perfect way confirming that beauty is found in clashing visions.”
