In 2014 I focused entirely in my eBay sculptures. As using dead animals, which had been one of my main working subject and resources was becoming quite gross, I decided to switched to using insects instead. Also during this year I abandoned definitely veganism and buddhism. Thus my use of insects was no longer focused on reincarnation and spirituality. I incorporated them into different objects which I exclusively bought through online auctions, or buying insects and incorporating them into found objects. My objective was the creation of sculptures which were borne out of the togetherness of online and offline, which is is the way in which we create reality.
Insects then worked just the way they were meant too: earthly beings that are an affirmation of nature.
