We Are The World

This is an exhibition about the manufacturing process. The purpose of this show is not to establish some new theory. It is about a predicament, but is also an opportunity to redefine my position in the world and my relationship with it.

A dog brought us to a beautiful world on another shore: the beaches of Cannes peopled by celebrities, well-known charming people, trailblazers, fashionistas, and trendsetters. Through the dog, this faraway celebrity-filled place would be linked to our daily lives. The manmade dog would play a part in this glamorous world, a friend to the celebrities or an exhibit in their homes. It is the dog that connected these two worlds. He is a soul from another shore whose physical body is here, but who will then go back to becoming an immortal spirit after serving his purpose.
