Original artwork description:

64x84 cm | Filler, oak panel

The work is done with imprints of my forearms.

The body is an instrument of language, both consciously and unconsciously. Through it, we signal our wants and needs to the exterior world. We raise our fists or fold our hands to express our will to people or higher powers. Will is at the core of being a subject. Without a will, we are reduced to automatons that exclusively react to the outside world according to a predetermined pattern. But the will can also consist of a desire to submit to something outside us, something bigger or different than one's own self. At the same time, our free will is an expression of our inviolability and the desire to belong and escape the incurable solitude of the soul. We demand our place in the world and prey that it takes its place in us.
