i want to make you see something you wish you'd never seen.

on making art

is my duty first and foremost to make something "beautiful"?

or does that come inherently with the territory of making something provocative. the burgeoning of thought, an epiphany, that moment of inspiration. i think there's something powerfully beautiful. to look at the world with a child's eye.. to see everything as new and amazing and miraculous, before everything is explained away.. i want to re-install that sense of wonder into the world. set to default.

i want people to see what i can't see in this existence anymore.

everlasting love.

is an image destroyed once it's documented? or does it become eternal once it enters the world of virtual reality. data can be corrupted and viruses work against an operating system but is information ever lost? is anything ever really lost?

image of iconic image printed out, photographed, and the facsimile is printed and photographed again and again.

is the original image necessary? can we exist in a world of facsimiles?

there's something to be said.

what happens when the most honest way you know to get by is to lie?

i don't know why.

i don't know how to tell the truth.
