DOGMATA


- So how is this going to work out?
- I don't know, they are talking about a "new reality"
- What a new reality even means?
- Oh, I guess the same but new.

Dogmatic approaches, both outside and inside, create confusion.
Inherited fears, personal insecurities, a violent GROW UP! and an exhausting identity crisis.

The forms and shapes of the pieces are taken from everyday objects for everyday needs. A fork, a small elephant statue, a medicine bottle, a contact lenses case, and a toothbrush become the starting point for new perspectives; and they express the need for a truer and less austere self.
