— I want us [Chroma Gallery]

Unique piece for the Chroma gallery (Rome, Italy)

I want us. I want us to kiss until we bite each other. I want us to bite each other until we kiss. I want us to do each other so much good that it almost hurts. I want us. Now. Without this nostalgia of before. Without this fantasy of after. Let's stop playing. And let's spare ourselves the pain of later asking ourselves: What if we had dared? "I want us" are not words, just a language. A word of the skin. A song perhaps. A song just for us. There, on a field of shivers that dance and rise much higher than the body, there is a song. It sings: I want to fulfill us. "I want us" means: I want to fulfill us. To feel us come to life. For us to be, finally, real.
