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 chewing bubble gum.

Each of the two videos presents the same image of someone blowing a bubble in a cathedral-like environment. In one video, the 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. The other video image is of the man and woman blowing bubbles individually. As one bubble deflates, another bubble emerges. All individual identity is lost as one image dissolves into the other.
