Original artwork description:

64x84 cm | Filler, oak frame

The word avatar has several meanings. It could be that a person embodies something external, or it could be an image that represents a person. Both definitions problematize the self as a coherent unit. Perhaps it is possible to see the body as an avatar for the subject, the understanding of the self through language, and that it at the same time manifests something external within the boundaries of the self. And thus the way to break the subject's alienation from the outside world does not go through rational analysis but through bodily presence. But that this presence is not limited to the biological body, but can also include other material extensions of this, loaded with a robust identification. Like a driver in a car, or a person interacting with the outside world through its digital alter ego.

Materials used:

Filler (coarse and fine) in oak frame
