The Final Thesis for the Art Work:

I burned and donated it all, the entirety of my art work. I burned it out of frustration, rage and sadness. I donated it out of guilt and resourcefulness.

Most of the world has lost the ability to understand pictures, expressions, forms, stories and words. We are no longer able to make connections between things, and through those connections, to find meanings. We have lost the ability to find meanings.

We have lost the hungry curiosities for meanings in the midst of the distractions that are bombarding our life, from the media to consumer culture. We have settled, content to be ignorant and clueless. We have traded what defines us as humans - curiosity and rationality - to exchange for the bliss of ignore. We have fallen.

So I burned and donated what I wished to show you, a summer long investigation and experiment on the theme, ”A Perfect Human in his Imperfect Habitat”, to beg for your curiosity. In our culture, where we exploit and take for granted all that we have gained and possess, what we have gained loses meaning as we lose interest in the connection we have to our possessions, the world, and each other.  Instead of asking you to find meaning through the numbing act of receiving, I hope that the painful act of losing will finally be able to make you care, make you curious, and make you search for the meanings.
