Art Statement

In HIM, I explore the intersection of obsession, reality, and fiction. The story revolves around
a character who crosses the boundary between
a constructed world and his own reality,
illustrating how deeply stories can affect and
even control us.

I’m fascinated by how people interact with the narratives around them—whether it’s a novel,
a film, or the stories we tell ourselves. HIM
delves into this by blurring the lines between
the character’s life and the novel he discovers, leading to a psychological unraveling. Through
the act of intrusion, the protagonist steps into
another world, mirroring how as storytellers,
we create worlds that others can enter and
lose themselves within.

The structure of HIM plays with the idea of perspective, constantly shifting the audience’s
role from passive observer to active participant,
just as the protagonist shifts from voyeur to character within the story. It’s a reflection of
how narratives pull us in, sometimes distorting
the boundary between truth and fiction. My
goal is to challenge the audienceto think about
their relationship with the stories they consume,
and how these stories can blur the lines between who they are and who they believe themselves
to be.

Parts of The Script

Inspiration:

The idea for HIM came from my fascination
with the blurred lines between reality and
fiction. I wanted to explore how stories can influence and reflect our actions, which is
why the protagonist in HIM becomes drawn
into the writer’s world, slowly losing the
distinction between his life and the novel.

I took inspiration from works like The Double
by Dostoevsky and Paul Auster's City of Glass, where characters face the unraveling of their
own identity while becoming part of someone else’s story.

Similarly, Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock inspired the theme of voyeurism—how
watching others can quickly turn into obsession, and how trying to manipulate a situation can
have unexpected consequences.

At its core, HIM is about the danger of trying
to control a story that’s not your own, and how that can pull you deeper into a reality you can
no longer escape.
