The artist writes about CONTACTING: "In this work of analysis on social networks I have chosen a specific type of specific web: adult contact pages. Friendship, companionship, partner, etc. are sought. There are terse and ambiguous ads. But there are some with a density that makes for a good story to tell. The play between image and text is the point of reflection I look for in the viewer. That is why the pieces are made up of these two elements that complement each other. I focus attention on the stories that hide the lack of something in people's lives. They are just different points of view, different personal situations that lead to a kind of lament. But I have also chosen some happy ones in order to be able to feel the contrast of attitudes that people have when facing the same fact. The idea is that the resulting works move the viewer, to seek his empathy with fears that are still fears inherent to the human condition.
