About
Any type of approach and analysis from an artist (or individual) to a theme is a challenge; it can be problematic but simultaneously a way of reasoning and a creative process. It is necessary for the artist to step back from their work to have a better reading and understanding, to see their potential, and most of all, understand the maturity and autonomy of the project. There is an importance to look at it as if it was the first time seeing it and learn with it; be guided by it.
I research about research. I research about thinking. I research about the process of processing.
