Ethan Lieutet Khnafo (LK) is a Paris native artist and writer whose practice explores the universal concept of love through personal experience, emotional research, and cultural heritage. Using symbolism, zoomorphic analogies, mind mapping, and his own body as a testing ground, he investigates new ways of understanding life and emotionality.
Through performances and object-based works, Ethan examines the tension between mortality and the enduring search for love. His practice engages themes such as human relationships, time, grief, and emotional resonance, often incorporating materials like bones, dead insects, and ephemeral bodily patterns. These explorations are approached with a humorous, self-ironic tone, ultimately reflecting a deeply human attempt to confront death and answer one central question:
“Will I ever find true love?”
