Sharing Gas is part of the series Arcadia / it is prototype artwork #1 of that theme and conveys the moment of daydreaming; in this particular scene - one observes a woman filling up her car with gas. While doing so, her mind wanders off and transforms this scene into a “love story”. She re-invents this in reality rather boring late-night moment into a moment of love at first sight. But it is not only her “dream - man” she finds waiting on the other side of the gas station filling up his muscle car with gas, with this feeling also her car swaps its appearance and loses gravity as she does as well.
The loss of gravity stands for the actual daydream - not real - but its dreamed outcome is very much anticipated.
The artwork’s messages are disguised within it’s typographic elements.
