CUT THE CRAP

CUT THE CRAP

YOU SEE A BOY SMOKING WITH HIS FOOT AND YOU THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE STORY.

YOU DO NOT.

HE USES HIS LEG BECAUSE HE HAS NO ARMS. NOT BECAUSE HE IS REBELLIOUS. NOT BECAUSE HE IS LOST. BECAUSE HE ADAPTED.

WHAT LOOKS SHOCKING TO YOU IS NORMAL TO HIM. WHAT YOU CALL MISERY IS HIS DAILY MECHANISM OF SURVIVAL.

CUT THE CRAP.

DO NOT JUDGE WHAT IS DIFFERENT. DO NOT REDUCE A LIFE TO A GLANCE.

SUFFERING IS NOT A PERSONAL FAILURE. IT IS STRUCTURAL. POVERTY IS NOT A CHARACTER FLAW. IT IS A CONSEQUENCE.

CAPITALISM CREATES DISTANCE. DISTANCE CREATES COMFORT. COMFORT CREATES JUDGMENT.

HE DOES NOT NEED YOUR PITY. HE NEEDS A WORLD THAT DOES NOT PROFIT FROM HIS CONDITION.

LOOK AGAIN. WITHOUT SUPERIORITY.

A COLLISION OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND WOOD SCULPTURE. THIS WORK MERGES DOCUMENTARY REALITY WITH HAND CARVED INTERVENTION, INSERTING SCULPTURAL ELEMENTS INTO LIVED MOMENTS TO EXPOSE WHAT THE EYE MISSES AND THE MIND JUDGES.

THIS ARTWORK IS AVAILABLE IN THE SIZES LISTED IN THE DROP DOWN BOX.
