Giving Voice to the Unmentionable
The “Giving Voice to the Unmentionable” series boldly confronts societal norms and moral boundaries by employing cannibalism as a metaphorical exploration of love, desire, and human connection. At its core, this project seeks to invite reflection, draw parallels, and express aspects of queerness, taboo, and worship, while highlighting the contrast between seeing and understanding the darker facets of human nature. Through deliberate focus on conveying beauty within macabre scenes, the series prompts viewers to confront the discomforting dichotomy between repulsion and inherent beauty, inviting introspection. Rather than glorifying or sensationalising these themes, the project aims to provoke dialogue on the human condition, eliciting contemplation on hidden desires. It functions as a visual narrative, challenging preconceived notions of morality, taboo, and desire. By creating a narrative that stands as a bold testament to the power of art to confront the unmentionable, the series aims to initiate discourse, inviting viewers on a contemplative journey through the intricate landscape of human desires and the complex relationship between seen and unseen aspects of our collective consciousness.
