Artist Statement / Description of artwork

´All dressed up, no one to love´ found me three flights away from any known home with a torn meniscus and unable to walk three weeks into a five-month trip in Udaipur, the romantic city of fake lakes in India. Watching ceiling paint peel is slightly more amusing if you have a camera and lights to play with.
