Hxoro is the attitude children have soon after their first year of life when they start giving things to people without expecting anything back. They do it because they love the feeling of donating while checking the recipient’s reaction. With the same goal you can download here any image below for free (just right click on a picture and choose “Save As”, they are all in A3 format for you to print or edit in Photoshop). The project is made of six sub series of twelve drawings each. Each piece is a symbol of a fear I dealt or deal with in my own life. “I cannot see them” because fear is like darkness, it makes it difficult for you to grasp anything around. This is the faint light that came out by trying to find some reference point just as you would have done as a kid by touching the walls around to find the lamp in your room at night. 72 is the number of languages spoken at the Tower of Babylon.
