In the act of reaching out to rub against the bronze sculpture to make a wish, viewers are invited to briefly escape into a constructed world where they have complete control over their circumstances. The allure of wish-making resides not in the fulfillment of the wish, rather in the momentary gratification derived from desiring an altered reality. Recognising the necessity of reverie in a reality filled with uncertainties, Rub You offers bronze sculptures as catalysts for escape.
