Anatomy of an
Overreaching Society
the unwanted touch addresses the trauma of social transgression.
Its point of departure is the moment when the disregard for personal distance turns into psychological invasion. Every unwanted touch – whether physical or mental – pierces the protective membrane of the individual. The result is not merely discomfort, but a measurable, cellular wound: a state of ongoing insecurity, threat, and inner depletion.
The series visualizes this condition as a continuous act of self-defense. The human being responds by hardening — forming a symbolic armor to preserve the remnants of their violated integrity. This crust becomes a visible metaphor of emotional paralysis — a paralysis that embodies shame, disgust, and self-protection alike.
the unwanted touch stands as an artistic appeal:
Personal boundaries are a non-negotiable right.
The motifs of the noplease series form the thematic core of the work. They explore the societal normalization of transgression and the resulting emotional paralysis.
The wall serves as a symbol of society – a space where proximity turns into threat. At the center stands the figure as an emblem of inner erosion — the point where shame and disgust merge into a permanent state.
DThe motifs defeated. broken. focus on the aftermath of psychological and physical violation. They depict exhaustion, silence, and inner hardening in the wake of collapse.
These works stand as quiet witnesses to what transgression leaves behind – images of withdrawal, loss, and emotional paralysis.
The works are produced as photographic prints on Alu Dibond and mounted in matte black floater frames.
