Intimacy involves the risk of violation. When one chances vulnerability with another, a particular sort of violence is expected, almost invited and definitely inevitable . . . yet the risk is not less when the other is one’s own self.
The images before you are visually specific yet affectively vast. They are not meant to read as narratives but more as requests for a physical relationship with you, the viewer/participant. The five pieces together are a gestalt of an ongoing experience.
