Mortality and Fluoro is a materially based investigation of mortality. Emanating from Fracchia’s personal near-death experience in the ocean, this body of work visually articulates feelings of impermanence, fragility and the precariousness of human life. This is expressed as the dichotomous opposite to the culture of machismo and bravado amongst young male
surfers.
Acknowledging the volatile nature of the ocean and the tenuous relationship we have with it, this body of work uses water and drowning as emblematic of the transient nature of life. This exciting collection of works is framed with methodologies of introspection, social critique and spiritual inquiry.
