Collateral

Collateral (2016) "The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation." Numbers 14:18

Collateral consists of 1000 colorful balloons, which have been filled with carbon dioxide (CO2) -gas. The balloons are hung above the viewer like a dense cloud.

As part of the series of artworks about human hubris, I wanted to create something which was at the same time scary but also somehow approachable, even a bit fun. I was infuenced by the often aggressive artworks of Markus Copper, but wanted to create something confusing.
