well yeah the grafiti has to do with the concept..but i couldn't really tell what it means lol it just needed to be photographed.....it is a very strong symbol of what i mostly hate about our societies (hate, betrayal, hypocrisy..)...i felt like i needed to do something out of it. something beautiful out of such a stupid grafiti. i have a hard time explaining what my photos are made of, actually. i kinda just shoot what i feel.

~Sweetest-Tortures...you say the graffiti is about"a very strong symbol of what i mostly hate about our societies" (hate, betrayal, hypocrisy..)...

sorry...I am unsure if what you mean is the symbol of the Jew means they have betrayed the French or the other way around.

I understand, as a artist you feel and then create...but it's the thought that is clear in your heart which I am sure you would want other to know...

you understand what I am saying, I hope...

I am asking because I have viewed some photography which the artist was saying something quite different from what the audience interpreted...

He said he couldn't control that ...and although he felt uneasy, he believed it was the freedom of the viewer to take away what they wanted...

do you agree?


thank you for speaking with me about your piece....

i truly find your work intriguing

what i meant about the grafiti was that Judas is a symbol for betrayal in our minds (even though i'm an atheist)..but what i felt when i saw the grafiti was more about how you can be pointed at, treated like a freak...Judas is more like an insult in this grafiti, and i know a lot about being insulted...that explains the pose as well, being forced by the judgement of others to hide in the dark. actually the jew symbol does not really mean something in relation with religion..I hope this clears a little up
