It is through the body that we experience the world and are able to participate in it. Excluding the body from identity is limiting the human experience and an individual’s perspective. I wanted to find a new way to look at myself, a different perspective. See the composition of my body and appreciate what makes me me. Nails, hair, blood, earwax…all substances considered gross play a role in our survival as a species and physical experience as individuals. But when I looked through the microscope, I found shapes and colours I was not expecting and that were, honestly, beautiful.
Making these images was an experience of self-discovery, and I hope that by looking at them, the audience feels encouraged to look at themselves and learn something new, too.
