DVLottery to Home

Picture
A Word from the Artist (Click to View)
Everyone I know, has tried winning a US green card through annual online lotteries. An eternal alacrity for leaving, a perpetual passion for fleeing from home. This series presents re-workings of the small pictures my acquaintances have taken of themselves based on the regulations dictated by such 
lotteries. 


Each participant, ready to join many other “used to-know”s who aren’t there anymore. Each of them is ready to leave his or her family forever. Processed into an virtual being, and melting into new and strange sceneries of dissolving “estrangement”. Turning into a picture and never turning back.
