The desire to be in control #9 / Additional Details

We all have the desire to be in control. We know we can control barely anything, but we still try to. We try to reach out and control someone else's life, often quite aggressively, but our own minds and even bodies limit us; we are very much rooted in our background, history, and life situation, and we are trying to go beyond those limitations often without any success.

Nevertheless, even in our selfishness, we are still human beings; we all feel our completeness and are infinitely beautiful in our fragility and mortality, and even in our desire to control everything and everyone.

We are in this together.

The spiky sculptured elements represent this attempt to control and show how deeply rooted we are in our background. The sculptured elements are arranged in a circle to show our limitations and to convey the feeling of completeness.

This wall sculpture was displayed at The Nave Museum, Victoria, Texas.

We all have our limitations.
Each of us. You name it.
We live in a mortal (healthy?) human body, a random combination of our ancestors' genes. We happened to be born in a specific country at a particular time; our race, ethnicity, and cultural background also happened to us. We can also not control thinking; it happens to us as digestion does.
Our reality is beyond our knowledge to a greater extent.
We feel it.
We are simple, imperfect, and impermanent, and we know it.
We all have the desire to be in control. We know we can control barely anything, but we still try to. The blue color conveys my feelings about that.
Nevertheless, because of all this, we all feel our completeness and are infinitely beautiful in our fragility and mortality.
We are in this together.

Every sculptured element in my works represents a person, and I incorporate many of them in my sculptures. I organize them on a canvas together in a dance; there is a logic in the composition because, in this life, we are in this together; we are connected. Our reality is beyond our knowledge, but we feel this connection.
