Salon de Détachement

In my graduation works I am celebrating an unfortunate truth of Modernity: the interchangeability of human relationships with the world and each other. Underlying the upbeat and harmonious style of the paintings, costumes, sculptures and drawings that are exhibited, the representations carry no truthful relations to one another. The modern world as I see it is dysfunctional, incoherent and fragmented. The façades of univeral truth and beauty have fallen, so I have chosen to rejoice in the sweetness of disconnection. To celebrate the superficial candy-like festicity of luxury and the party life. Smoking, drinking, and having sex are the self-indulgent activities of detachment the figures in my work partake in.
