Taming | 2015

““Taming” is a research project into the protective reactions of plants, animals and human beings. Self-preservation ensures the survival of an organism. Pain and fear are parts of this mechanism. There is a contrast between the fragile, glossy ceramic and the strong, matt steel. The use of leather symbolizes the taming of the wild. Taming my own creatures, safe and aggressive, wild and domesticated, black and white, strong and fragile. By taming my emotions, I am taming myself.”
