"Control is the illusion that everyone strives for, whether it be what you had for breakfast, the route to work, how much cocaine you need to make it through the week, the number of beers it takes to erase today, how often you have to clean your hands before they're clean enough, or when it's safe to go to sleep.
I’ve witnessed how overwhelming fear and need often override any moral code or common sense. I explore obsession through the underlying biological and neurological structures that make people act the way they do. It's fascinating how the rearrangement of simple building blocks can create such malignant results, and despite the physiological factors that control an individual, the response is always one of two: fight or flight."
