[pullquote_left] “The sexiest smells in the world are the gasoline fumes in old garages and sandalwood—Motorcycles and Scheherazade are personal triggers to my primal sense of self and sensuality. My work is driven by the malleable nature of identity, eroticism and gender, and is realized through transitory performances- visual dialogues with transition and self modification mediated by both natural and man-made forces. The final documentation celebrates, and interrogates the narrative potential buriedin everyday encounters, innocuous materials, and their embedded cultural associations.” [/pullquote_left]
