Fear

Led Fun Fair Lights on hand painted MDF - These series of work is an example of one of my major themes: "loss of innosence". Fear of different believes, terrorism, economic decline, becoming older, and our own demise. For some amongst us, fear is a tool to keep the masses at bay. They are fed daily with images of mass destruction, terror and mishap to feed the fear of loosing everything we have, and ultimately: fear of losing our lives. Some politicians use this to create barriers between people: We are kept afraid so wars can be fought in our name and money can be spend out of our pockets for a so called better cause. Fear is a value to those who use it to gain power. We are no longer in control of our own destiny.
