The project "What do we want?" delves into the portrayal of romance, attraction, and relationships in media versus real-life experiences, aiming to convey a more intimate and relatable perspective. By examining myths, precolonial rituals, novels, and contemporary blockbusters, the project seeks to deconstruct conventional narratives and offer a nuanced view of human interactions. It blends archival footage from various media sources with personal videos of everyday life to create a more tangible and intimate experience.

A central focus of the project is the act of touch, a fundamental form of communication that can evoke various emotions and responses, from craving to fear, violence to delicacy. Exploring the physical nuances of touch from different perspectives, the project aims to dissect its complexities and implications in both distant and close encounters.

In addition to touch, the project explores the symbolism of the knot as a metaphor for bonding and unity. Rooted in Aztec and Celtic rituals, the notion of "tying the knot" carries spiritual, sensorial, and sexual connotations, prompting an exploration of its multifaceted meanings.

The project also examines the queer gaze and its impact on perceptions of relationships and intimacy. Addressing issues of hyper sexualisation and representation, it navigates the tension between desired narratives and lived experiences, highlighting feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and inadequacy often associated with unfulfilled expectations. Through these explorations, "What do we want?" seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the intricacies of human connection and identity.
