Competent Sufferers is an attempt to discover the fragility and the strength of human beings in some imaginary everyday situations.

Trying to survive between the past and the present, the wild and the domestic, and the known and the unknown are some of the many common psychological disasters that human beings daily suffer even without noticing. However, loosing the connection between the fact and the myth, disappearing in the psychedelic world of reconstruction, and creating oneself a new order composed of kitsch symbols and cryptic details are some of the rare experiences that only competent sufferers can endure.

I believe that what creates the boldest appearance is generated by the fragility of the experience.
