I am obsessed by images, visual arts, advertising, film and news images, all of them.
Each image I see haunts me, it invades my imaginary world, it replaces my fantasy, it conditions my creativity, it rapes it, it zeros it, it does not give it a break. It imposes itself and dominates me.
But at the same time it empties it, it loses meaning like a word repeated ten, a hundred, a thousand times revealing its inconsistency.
 
Exorcise, that's the solution!
 
Rape them and crush them like waste paper.
 
But they are wreak vengeance and here they come again, reborn with a new strength to gain a third dimension, more arrogant and aggressive than before, vital and renewed and even more obsessive and stronger than ever.  
 
How can I ever get rid of them.             I HATE THEM AND I LOVE THEM.
