In this new series of drawings I explore the complex interplay between form and formlessness, a thematic continuation of my ongoing inflatable sculpture series. Just as my sculptures defy traditional boundaries with their dynamic, mutable shapes, these drawings delve into the fluid and often absurd nature of the human body, echoing the same sense of elastic transformation. The drawings are inspired by the concept of bodily inflation and deflation, capturing moments of both expansion and contraction that resonate with the physicality of my sculptural work. Each piece reflects a tension between rigidity and flexibility, much like the inflatable forms that swell and deflate in unpredictable rhythms.

A quote from Samuel Beckett, “I can’t go on. I’ll go on,” serves as a metaphor for the ceaseless cycle of growth and decay inherent in the human experience. Beckett’s depiction of the protagonist Winnie, ensnared in the absurdity of her predicament, parallels the existential themes of my art. The drawings, like Winnie’s struggle, embody the fleshly absurdities and ephemeral pleasures of existence, inviting viewers to confront the paradoxes of their own physicality.

Through these drawings, I seek to evoke a sense of both vulnerability and resilience, mirroring the tensions found in my inflatable sculptures. Together, they form a dialogue on the human condition—one that oscillates between the tangible and the intangible, the controlled and the uncontrollable.
