"In modern society, everyone is a solitary individual, eager to connect with others. And true "intimacy" is regardless of race or gender. "
Fall Into Heaven
“Fall into Heaven” is about a utopian dream which is my self-interpretation of "intimacy". For me, "sex" is not just physical contact, but a flow of deep relationships between people, resulting from our longing for mutual warmth. In modern society, everyone is a solitary individual, eager to connect with others. And true "intimacy" is regardless of race or gender. So in this art, I intertwined figures of different genders to express such diversity. The close relationship represents the linkage between people. Various individuals experience warmth and pure comfort through skin-to-skin contact. In addition to the warm satisfaction, se. x also assumes the role of release, representing a kind of repressed catharsis, followed by the return of everything to calm.
