What is a desire?
It’s a need, an attraction, an aspiration or a wish. Anyway it is a strenght which transports myself, an engine that starts the research and drives me towards the fulfillment of objectives.

Through analysis and observation of my scrapbook I estabilished that my desires are three: desire for knowledge, to enchant and to isolate myself.Therefore the analysdevelopes three diffrent ways to be: the explorer, the alchemist and the hermit.

If we account desire as a line in tension or a surface, at the beginning my desire is a ribbon that shears me, a need that cross me. Then it becomes a mass of hair which comes into possesion of my body, like a grotesque dream that limbs till my head. My desire becomes packaging staff, a passion that wraps up myself and leaves its mark; finally it’s reduced to a yarn that suspends me like a wish that keeps me alive.
