You know how you get drunk, especially for their first time? You'll take a whole lot of alcohol and despite the fact that it doesn't affect you immediately, when it hits you it hits you hard. It creeps up on you and just knocks you out when you get to the throwing up and blacking out stage. Well at least that was my experience. Thanks to that experience I can articulate what I would like to do with my work.
I want to address issues that on face value may seem very typical, flat and 2dimensional, and shed some light on them so that everyone can see the shadow. Enlighten people on what the other side is, and try to present the argument in a logical and tactical way. Because here's the thing I want to be extreme and address very provocative ideas but at the same time I don't want to chase my viewers away. You know like if I want to tell a strong christian that there has to be a reason why the devil is the devil, lets find out what it is and see if we can understand him and maybe sympathize with him. For a christian, the thought of sympathizing with the devil could be so sinful. Even I feel weird thinking that way, but it's exciting and this is the way I want my audience to be after watching my work. We are always taught to tolerate things that we do not understand and differ from our habits and beliefs, well I think that if we understand what we have to tolerate, life would be a tad bit more comprehensive.
