Skin/Hair/Inside

Social practices encourage us to smooth the skin and cover orifices. This allows us to ignore the human body as natural and organic. I am interested in social reaction and fear towards the Abject body. By displaying what we avoid showing, I aim to question why we do so.

Here this is done through the use of film and photography in a confrontational format. The image is abstract and manipulated slightly to show it in an aesthetically pleasing way. There is no reason to fear these images. The human body is beautiful.

I aim to spark a cognitive debate within the observer through the frustration of wanting to know the story with no answer, and the pull of staring a moment longer. Enticing their voyeuristic tendencies of taking a second glance through the window to the lit interior...
