“Always take yourself seriously… it’s not the same as being pompous, or overly self-assured, but it is important to understand that the small little ideas that creep up in your mind, often contain the germ of a much larger project. All great art wasn’t born as great art. It first needed to be recognized by the artist him/herself. Through his or her belief in it, it became true.” — Wolfgang Tillmans

The Utilitarianism Series explores aspects of human behavior. I chose to focus on serial killers because they often display a lack of empathy and guilt, and tend to become highly self-centered individuals. These traits are what categorize certain serial killers as psychopaths. Interestingly, serial killers frequently wear a metaphorical “mask of sanity” to conceal their true psychopathic nature and can come across as normal and even charming. It’s fascinating to see how these behaviors, which we sometimes conceal within ourselves, are reflected in such extreme cases.

In 1990 #Texas, USA, a runaway teenage girl was kidnapped, tortured, and killed. She was terrified and made to pose in front of and inside an old barn before her murder by a serial killer. She was 14.

“I believe that who we are, and consequently the work that we make, whether we’re visual artists or writers or journalists or filmmakers, is a projection of where we were born, what’s been withheld or lavished upon us, our color, our sex, our class. And everything we do in life to some degree is a reflection of that context.” — Barbara Kruger

“I made something that I wanted to make and then people wanted it. That was always important to me because, when I was doing the Warhol stuff, I wondered, ‘Am I making something that I want to make, or because people want to buy?’ Now, I’m in the phase where I can make what I want to make.” — Ryan Wilson

“Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself. Better to conquer yourself than others. When you’ve trained yourself, living in constant self-control, neither a deva nor gandhabba, nor a Mara banded with Brahmas, could turn that triumph back into defeat.” — Buddha/ Dhammapada

“You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or diminish your light … Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.” — John Lewis

“Abstract means literally to draw from or separate. In this sense every artist is abstract for he must create his own work from his visual impressions. A realistic or non-objective approach makes no difference. The result is what counts.” — Richard Diebenkorn
