The Beauty of The Beast
With The Beauty of The Beast I try to shine a new light on a subject that has enslaved us all, at one point or another. I opt for a new interpretation of the concept: ‘Monster’! A corporeal plea to justify all human feelings.

'This is my fist
The union of the five closed fingers of my hand.
Communicating In a language that is understood all over the world.
We all understand the message of the fist.
