Steve Sabella creates a work that is a journey to his imagination and personal horror. Triggered by the second Gulf War in 2003, he confronts the unexpected menacing reality surrounding him by looking through his images. There he discovers a hidden apocalyptic world. Studying the sequence of Sabella's artworks, it is inevitable to notice that this project already started his obsession with hyper reality as he later conceives the idea that Jerusalem, his city of birth, does not exit and that he is living in the image of his lost city (jerusalem in exile 2006). Furthermore, this work is a journey to his imagination and state of mind, however, in 2009, Sabella penetrates deeper his sub consciousness, and develops a new level of visual sophistication. He creates the States of Mind of living in permanent mental exile and alienation (in exile 2008). |

Spring 2003, a
new war starts... I look at my images, images that were once
part of the world I created myself... Suddenly I could see
through them. I discovered they hid a different reality. I
had been living in an illusion; in a world that does not
really exist, except in my sub consciousness. The
ground beneath my feet shakes. I wake up to discover that my
world is changing again. |
