ICHTHYS,
the fish, is a Christian symbol for Christ. In this work I address the sense
of guilt present in Christian culture heritage. I perform the same action is
done in parallel with a dead fish and my own body. Pressing my finger for
several minutes in a dead and a living body creates a tense contrast that
questions the compatibility of individuals with the models imposed by
religions.
