In industrial production, black is mostly compound of the mixture of other colors. Through chemical processing the artist reveals the true nature of mundane black and brings its true hues back into visibility. Enhancement of hidden qualities of common objects like sketch paper and black ink is here associated with uncovered sexuality. The 'leakage' of uniform 'black' color is compared to discovering the brightness and vibrance of corporal sensuality, fantasies and experiences. Domination of pink color emerging out of the ink and soft flesh like shapes connect the idea of search, discovery and invites the viewer to see broader and deeper into the basic definitions.
