This piece is the last one in a series of paintings and mixed media work dedicated to the theme of ‘lust’. The piece deals with the confrontation between the need to be loved and desire to let loose sexually. The piece combines acrylic paints and a mount of a pair of jeans and a thong onto a large canvas. Though the piece hangs on a wall, it resembles clothes being taken off and simply dropped on the floor. The dark background contrasts the light clothes to symbolise the contrast between purity and sin. Sebastian explains: “The blue handprints that crawl over the canvas give the piece a stronger sexual and human sensation.”
