MOLECULES OF STRANGENESS
THE PROJECT INVITES REFLECTION ON FEELINGS TOWARD OTHERNESS AND BELONGING, ENCOURAGING THE SEARCH FOR SHARED "MOLECULES" THAT CONNECT US IN THIS PROCESS. THESE "MOLECULES" CREATE LINKS AND BRIDGES BETWEEN PLACES AND PEOPLE. THESE COMMON POINTS HELP US UNDERSTAND THAT DESPITE OUR DIFFERENCES, THERE IS A UNIVERSAL HUMAN NATURE WE ALL SHARE, AND IN EVERY PLACE AND CULTURE, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT UNITES US, BUILDING CONNECTIONS.
THE KEY TOOL IN FORMING THESE CONNECTIONS IS THE MECHANISM OF ASSOCIATION. I USE IT TO COMBINE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS, SYMBOLS, SOUNDS, OR COLORS TO EVOKE SPECIFIC EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS. IN THIS WAY, EACH WORK WITHIN THE CYCLE CREATES CONDITIONS FOR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN INTERPRETATION, ALLOWING VIEWERS TO FIND THEIR OWN ASSOCIATIONS.
