What happens if we don’t associate sex with reproduction or the idea of performance pleasure between humans?

We will create a real, tangible and physical work in which ideas of connection, pleasure and interest will be questioned. It’s a promising solution for our hypersexualized environments, focusing on love and stopping the interpersonal dynamics that bring us down.
