Portrait of a Hungry Ghost
JAC S
The idea of the Hungry Ghost originated in Buddhist mythology and describes a tortured being with an insatiable hunger.
This series plays with the idea of the Hungry Ghost as an infestation, as systems that influence how we live.
Insatiable fractal hungers. Infinite feedback loops of unquenchable appetites blindly scouring, hoovering, extracting.
Hungry Ghosts as entangled and impossible-to-see-all at-once, yet felt at every scale - personal, industrial, cultural, historical.
