COME CLOSER

COME CLOSER

USE YOUR OTHER HAND.

A SCULPTURAL TOILET SEAT CONFRONTING INTIMACY, PROXIMITY, AND PARTICIPATION. THE IMAGE OF A HAND GRIPPING A BODY SUGGESTS DESIRE AND VULNERABILITY, WHILE THE ENGRAVED TEXT ON THE RING DELIVERS A DIRECT INSTRUCTION. COME CLOSER BLURS THE LINE BETWEEN INVITATION AND DEMAND, TURNING THE ACT OF SITTING INTO A PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ENGAGEMENT. WHAT APPEARS SENSUAL IS ALSO UNSETTLING, FORCING THE VIEWER TO ACKNOWLEDGE PRESENCE, TOUCH, AND RESPONSIBILITY RATHER THAN PASSIVE OBSERVATION.
