This work draws from my personal, sensory-sensitive experience of the world. Through this imagination, I aim to share that experience.
At the same time, the work reflects on a society in which everything is increasingly taken personally—a time that Dirk De Wachter already described in 2012 as a ‘Borderline Time.’
Don’t take it personal is a visualization of how we shape each other in a continuous exchange. The sugar cube, akin to John Locke’s blank slate, is subjected to the stimuli that the viewer (or rather, participant) introduces into the work. The sugar cube is ‘marked’ by its environment. This is a work created together, and that sense of togetherness might just be a remedy against the culture of individualism.
Currently, this work is in the stage of experiment, in search of a place, opportunity and fund to grow into full form.
