We need to re-define common goals for our future. Economic growth has helped us a lot to reduce poverty globally, but the time has come now to build a broader approach, reducing the devastating impact on our environment and on human interest. To save our future, we need to find a balance between economic progress, protection of our environment and human wellbeing. What the first two mean should be obvious. But what does human wellbeing mean and what is our new paradigm? We must confess that we have no answers to these questions.
I work in a controlled studio environment building sculptural installations. Mostly, I add a physical element to an image I have made outside the studio. What I add refers to what we cannot see or cannot understand. The images I make were visible as such in the studio environment. The objects/additions in my work refer to us as humans in the cosmos. It is what makes us aware of our own existence, and it is a source of meaning in our lives.
I started this project because, to my opinion, our intuition is the key to a better world. The underlying intention of my work is to trigger our intuition to break the dominance of rationality.
My work is a call for action. Actions by governments, international organizations, businesses and individuals. Decisions and policies are needed, not only with economic, but also with social and environmental priorities. With a new humanitarian driven politics and a global monetary system focused on human welfare for all, we can build a better future.
