THE STORY BEHIND THE SOAP FACTORY
In the last year I’ve been interested in the use of soap in sculpture, not just because of its abilities to being manipulated with great effect, But also because of the symbolism of what soap represents. The word cleanse has so many negative connotations especially when you talk about concentration camps or cleansing of any race by means of mass execution. My work isn’t about mass execution or the negative connotations by cleansing I use the word cleansing in a more symbolic way. The cleansing of the soul is what I’m interested I use the soap to clean and purge mankind. The factory shows the problem on a large scale of the conflict we have with each other and is fitting, that it is something we do like a machine without fault.
