Born from this earth and faced with what is to become...

Paul Louis Villani

Born from this earth and faced with what is to become...

  • Imagine being born again.

Only this time your mother is the earth and you come fully equipped with memories, knowledge and a belief system.

What raw emotions are evoked when the first thing you are confronted with is an environment completely foreign to what you were expecting?
Fear, confusion, doubt and loneliness.
Or because of the new environment one may lose their inhibitions, feel joy or perhaps discover inner strength and courage.

Maybe the nine images are a true metaphorical reflection of the artists soul?
His background and love for the stage and theatre.
His longing to find true love and a wanting audience.
The ongoing battle of time and money between industry and creative
fulfilment.

    this is just so organic in its nature and conceptually brilliant. it’s almost like a metaphor for the movies where people are isolated on racks or similar for whatever purposes ie matrix ,resident evil etc but a much softer purpose almost like newborns (the last just being born from the machine-conveyor belt clones??)

    This image reminds me of loaves of bread at the bakery.

    I love your use of the air duct object in this series. It’s like your figures are able to use it as a portal from another dimension.

    I don’t know why – but it makes me think of H.G.Wells “Time machine” and the Morlocks – sorry I’ don’t know why that is the case. The female’s look of horror and positioning is priceless.
