"This is an island. At least I think it's an island. That's a reef out in the sea" Drawing

"The island series"; The drawings are based on film stills from the movie “Lord of the Flies”, a 1954 novel by William Golding. (Films; 1963 and 1990). The setting and circumstances are utopian. A group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island. But the story is a different one. It portrays the boys’ descent into savagery; left to themselves on a paradisiacal island, far from modern civilisation, the well-educated children regress to a primitive state. A dystopian story about loss of innocence and savagery. Uninhabited islands representing paradise and children representing innocence, the drawings are about the first impression and how the image is not to be trusted. The titles guide the viewer in how to read the work, provide a context and give a different view to that first impression and make the viewer have another look and wonder what really happened.
