HALLUCINATIONS Series Art Book
Available now in the new BOOK Store.
HERE FAUNA Series
Available on KitaraROKU store.
Here Fauna comes as a pair to Dear Flora Series whereby I transform photography to drawings. Dear Flora was a seminal piece about gay male affection that resides for women. More of a love letter to her. Here Fauna is a calling of some sorts whereby the subject which is myself is drawn to situations and is like an innocent naive creature unabashed by society’s pressure to guilt and shame.
Themes of Belonging, Individualism, Cultural Identity and Unity with Nature as Spiritualism. It depicts photographic art that is transformed via computer application. Testifying again to what is considered as wholly art and what has been art for a long time.
