A man and
his selves (Hollow Man). 2008. New York. Pen on Paper. 18 x 13.2 cm Series A-4
Rooted
to an invisible ceiling, a hollow man evolves as two separate selves. His outer self manifests as a human interface that
manages various things, like work, friends and romance; his inner self is where
all the wild stuff happens, desires rise, intentions form, reactions occur. He tries to remain hollow, ready to adapt and
cope with new circumstances, but things keep growing on him, forcing him to
constantly manage nature’s inertia in a biologically sticky world. Luckily, Hollow Man can manifest helpful
characters: a sexy blonde woman floats in his inner eye’s mind-space, balancing
his moods; and a teenage antelope that forms his right ear guards both thoughts
(inner) and actions (outer). A fire-like
substance appears in his throat that keeps biology at bay and channels his
mind’s experiences and visions into a passion-rich life.
