There is always some of my body in my fleshy characters. I never judge them. This tourist can be superficial, but after all, why not? He is happy and assumes that he is without solving his soul or brain. What I admire.
One of your linguistic elements.
“Vulgar”. Like this tourist whose holidays are they who we will never do.

Nothing to get ready, I do the invalidity, as if I was elsewhere.
Why should you go to your exhibitions The last paradise Aeration of The tourist ?
Laugh, have fun, forget to forget the real thing to be fashionable.
A misunderstanding of you.
We always bring my work closer to Cindy Sherman that spoils me. But the analogy is easy. Of course, it stems, but his intentions are different from the mine. His self-developments are trying to restore stereotypes in the form of social criticism. While being in me I create imaginary worlds I would like to live in. Everything is based on fantasy, escape, humor and game pleasure, not on gender theory. My work is not a feminist.

Go to the gallery laboratory to restore a photo draw.
