Artist statement
A scream is lovely only if it is a chant for freedom. This is the moment when you connect with the whole, with nature, with the collective subconscious, with the universal love. Usually it comes from a deep sense of understanding the meaning of the human nature, which has won its freedom in different ways, such as loving.
This feeling is transformed through the scream into energy, into spores projected towards your environment. That reaction, that we have considered a social or intellectual gesture becomes for a second in an intangible sensation that comes from the cortex to the hypothalamus, we feel it in our heart, our lungs, in our pores and in each other.
What is this feeling freedom or love?
When we scream, we scream for freedom, with the undying desire that everyone in the world could feel the same way. Loved, Uninhibited, Emancipated, Free.
‘Lovely Scream (Scream of Freedom)’ is one of latest works of Pacorrosa. He has conceived this work as a study for a mural with free technique.
