Whatever the results and feelings prompted by the work, they can be viewed as a kind of battle between conflicting feelings of desire and fear. I am interested in exploring how the two emotions cohabit in the same surface, the way they compete or cancel each other out, and the way they influence our character, our impulses, our actions, and our relationships with others.
