This body of work utilizes the human body as a metaphorical means to explore identity and how the interaction of the mind and body forges personal identity. Our age, more than any other historical period, allows us the freedom to transcend boundaries, explore, and self-define our individuality beyond and above social norms or any other eteronomy. The figures in this are both conceptually and aesthetically influenced by the ancient Greek notion of perfection, which stating that those who achieved the ideal balance of mind and body were regarded as divinely gifted to mortals. We are continually taught that perfection is the goal of our individual molding process. The journey to ‘perfection,’ however, is comprised mostly of failures and mistakes. These imperfections are the gradual indication of our time on this earth and proof of the experiences that shaped our growth and potential to became a greater self. My artwork aims to expose the challenging shifts in physical and psychological balances that occur during our chrysalis phase.
