air-hunger comes from a medical condition, Kussmaul Breathing, which is the rapid, deep, and labored breathing of people who are in a diabetic coma. Kussmaul Breathing is also referred to as air hunger.  The project, air-hunger explores issues of communication, sexuality and trust in relationships through the metaphor of what is traditionally scene as a children’s activity, chewing bubble gum.  

A man and woman interact by blowing bubbles.  These bubbles hit and miss.  When the bubbles do connect, their air is shared and the sugary bubble gum provides a life-sustaining medium for a few seconds.
