The images from the Visitor series can be understood as difficult-to-identify entities that are trying to tell us something. The messages come in the form of powerful, self-reflexive, and linguistic ciphers. When I created these Visitors, I also saw them as a metaphor for people living in a foreign country and their difficulties with integration resulting from the language barrier and frequent encounters with the local people’s xenophobic attitudes.
