Description:
When I’m in ecstasy, I feel like I’m a grotesque monster.
How do other people perceive these “monstrous moments”?
Guided by this question, I visualized the ecstatic sensations of five men.
The work asks whether monstrosity belongs only to me, or whether it resides within all men.
Artist Statement:
