It takes profound imagination and original mind to see beyond the theatrical, to understand deeper meaning of artistic work. Although these images depict sexual situations and explore the beauty, rawness and humor that sexuality entails – an act of
standing naked in spirit, as well as in body, and
requiring no shelter of herd which others seek
to be safe from ridicule is way more than
that – it is response to one’s highest
values – and can be nothing else.
Nakedness is threatening and intimidating these days. Sadly, many prefer to stay close to the herd where they feel comfortable, avoiding any chance for being different in thought, feeling or action. So attached to their masks they have forgotten
how to play and how to love.
To me, nakedness reveals, reminds us of our long forgotten innocence and pulls us out of the hopeless swamp of the appropriate, the
careful, the proper. This project is about those who dare
exploring the extra ordinary freedom to do the
different and often seemingly unnatural,
the freedom that is the most salient
feature of human nature.
