DOUBLED FEAR/ mosquito

DOUBLED FEAR is a polygon mosquito shaped sculpture made out of used medical needles. The chosen form and material represent and interact with human emotions, anxieties and pain. As a familiar object which most people have dealt with in their lives, the mosquito triggers such feelings within the viewer. Slightly less obvious are the needles which seem mere building materials at first, unless the viewer has personal experience with such themes as medical treatment and addiction, in which case the feelings become more pronounced.
The mosquito is part of the ongoing DOUBLED FEAR series that also includes a spider, a scorpion and a swordfish.
