About Menhir

THE LETHAL WOUND, THE KISS OF LIFE
The artist explores fundamental, distressingly infinite, or even banal issues as the instinct for love that enables the subject to complete him or herself in the Other, Nature, or Cosmos; or the instinct for death that enables the subject to anticipate the completion with nothingness, or with the experience, which transcends the experience of life. These embracing problem of human species certainly connote various sub-questions, for instance about the instinct for touching of or violence over our own body, or the body of someone else; about pleasure and pain; and about the experience of the lethal wound, or the kiss of life.
