"My bird can not fly -skull's tattoo series"
Tattooing is one of the oldest forms of body art. And Ifm just repeating the cliche act of body art performance. Tattoing already become a popular art form for common people from teenage adventorous up to tribal heritages, involving various artistic and aesthetic expressions.
Skullfs tattoo series trying to fill the whole part of my stomache with tattoos of different images of skull from different tattoo artists. I guess nothing new about my performance.
This time, in a form of personal (relativist) methaphor, I try to symbolize birds migration as an adventorous, yet a very painful journey of human civilizations. An intercourse of love and hatred. A competition between a doctorfs act to save lives and a soldierfs gesture to kill lives. A technology of building and a technology destroying.

"May everyone live,
And may everyone die.
Hello, my love,
And my love, Goodbye."
