The Star Series
Artist Statement
The perception and understanding of GOOD and BAD varies and changes over times and can be quite different according to one's cultural background, experiences, circumstances and intellectual capabilities etc. The Star Series is a portrait series that highlights this phenomenon by categorizing 12 famous people into bad (left hand-side) and good (right hand- side) based on a rather superficial observation of their images projected by media and one's understanding and knowledge of history. The categorizing is more or less of satirical and ironical character leaving ample room for discussion.
