I would love feedback on my most recent series : elastic skin
here is the synopsis of the project : To explore the relation between the psychological and the physical I feel compelled to explore and appreciate the body as a vessel, a receptacle that contains both biology and spirit. Skin as a fragile yet sturdy shield protecting the most delicate parts of your brain, the skin that becomes the forefront of your identity and self expression. This body of work aims to tangibilize the intangible. Through themes of recognisable beauty and underlying ache I hope to further the actualisation of the physicalised suffering in the body initiated by psychological trauma and distress. The series presents to the viewer simple visuals of the body and the viewer is invited to think with a critical and analytical mind. Analyse the environment, ignite every sense and be mindful. How does your body feel right now? Are you in any pain? Do you feel discomfort? Is your discomfort due to your surroundings or an issue within? The imperfections present within the body of work represent the flaws within our healthcare system, draw your attention to the pores on the models skin or the dust on the scans of the negatives. Small blemishes that change the trajectory of the entire image. Holes within our system allow severe mental health trepidations to go unnoticed and untreated until past a point of no return.
