8 BILLION WORLDS IN ONE
THE IDEA FOR 8 BILLION WORLDS IN ONE BEGAN IN SPLIT (CROATIA), STARING AT A 300 METER CONCRETE BLOCK – AN ARCHITECTURAL HUM OF LIFE. FROM OUTSIDE IT LOOKED LIKE COMMUNITY; INSIDE IT WAS A CONSTELLATION OF PRIVATE PLANETS. EVERYONE GLOWS ALONE. THIS SERIES IS MY VIEW FROM ORBIT: EIGHT BILLION WORLDS SPINNING, CONNECTED BY SIGNALS, DIVIDED BY SILENCE.
THE PARADOX OF CLOSENESS. I PORTRAY HUMANKIND AS CONSTANT ADJACENCY. EVERY FIGURE IN THIS SERIES WEARS A GLASS SPHERE – A TRANSPARENT CAPSULE OF PERCEPTION. IT SIGNIFIES VISIBILITY WITHOUT ENCOUNTER. WE EXIST IN TRANSITIONAL SPACES THAT PROMISE CONTACT BUT DELIVER SEPARATION: ELEVATORS, BARS, SUBWAYS IN LONDON, PARIS, NEW YORK. EACH BODY IS ACCESSIBLE YET UNREACHABLE. MY CLAIM IS SIMPLE: THE 21ST CENTURY HAS MADE INTIMACY HYPERVISIBLE – AND KILLED IT IN THE PROCESS.
TRANSLATING REALITY. MY PROCESS BEGINS WITH CONSTRUCTION. I SELECT REAL PEOPLE, DESIGN, CUT AND SEW EACH GARMENT, BUILD COLOR AND SILHOUETTE, DO THE STYLING AND MAKE UP MYSELF. CLOTHING FUNCTIONS AS ARMOR – ARTICULATED SKIN THAT DEFINES PRESENCE. I PHOTOGRAPH MY MODELS NOT TO DOCUMENT THEM BUT TO DECODE THEM. THE CAMERA CAPTURES THE MEASURABLE DATA OF ISOLATION. ON CANVAS, I REDRAW AND REPAINT THOSE FINDINGS WITH ACRYLIC AND INK. EACH WORK ENDS BENEATH A UV SENSITIVE SKIN—A SECOND ATMOSPHERE THAT TRANSFORMS UNDER BLACKLIGHT. IT IS PROOF THAT WHAT WE CALL VISIBILITY IS ONLY TEMPORARY LIGHT.
A SYSTEM OF PLANETS. 8 BILLION WORLDS IN ONE OFFERS NO CONSOLATION. IT DIAGRAMS HOW WE OPERATE: COLLECTIVELY ILLUMINATED, INDIVIDUALLY CONTAINED. EVERY HUMAN IS A SMALL PLANET ORBITING WITHIN THE GRAVITATIONAL NOISE OF OTHERS. I’M CONVINCED – WE LIVE IN AN AGE OF BEAUTIFULLY SHARED SOLITUDE.
