  • Sabbat, 2015 “The idea of this work is based on a sort of a pagan Sabbat ritual where I began by collecting the shell casings I found in shooting ranges. For me, these shell casings are imprinted with traces of success and error. I then placed the casings over my body as if I were undergoing cupping therapy to activate my blood flow. By doing this, my body has become both the support and the target.”
