“The idea actually came from a drawing I did a long time ago. It was just an image that I liked. It came subconsciously and was linked to a character who wants to touch but can’t, who was both creative and destructive—those sort of contradictions can create a kind of ambivalence. It was very much linked to a feeling. The manifestation of the image made itself apparent and probably came to the surface when I was a teenager, because it is a very teenage thing. It had to do with relationships. I just felt I couldn’t communicate. It was the feeling that your image and how people perceive you are at odds with what is inside of you, which is a very common feeling. I think a lot of people feel that way to some degree, because it’s frustrating and sad to feel a certain way but for it not to come through. So the idea had to do with image and perception.”
