Goin has been a rebel calling out injustice since his first works in the late 90's. Rather than take his lead from newspaper headlines, he seizes on subjects he finds intolerable and transforms them in to images, with an eye for the best visual punch-line. In his work Moonchild he depicts a child wearing an astronauts helmet holding a flag that shows a heart surrounded by a planetary ring. I wonder if the child has just landed from another planet bringing us hope, or is it asking for help from outer space to leave this planet by waving a flag of surrender in a quest for love? Is the child representative for all those younger generations fighting for their future.
