About 

"Splinter is an indication of a gap, a loss, an index of the disenchantment of modern life. It is the expression of a fragility, the articulation of a sustained (and perhaps growing) marginality that is also somehow sustaining. Paradoxically, what Splinter preserves photographically is the future. It offers a vision of a world beyond the banality of the interesting, beyond what has become the prison of excessive work and consumption, a promise of something as yet unseen. … Splinter is an intensification of life, and of longing. Its symbols of subversion threaten quietly and insistently to dissolve the society that otherwise seeks to suppress it.”
