Contingent Bodies

In my current work, I’m focusing on the representation of the body undergoing transformation, abandoning formal purity and desiring disengagement from the human condition due to contemporary digital technologies and hopelessness. Tainting the paintings with my own foreignness, the paintings are imbedded in perpetual rootlessness, as the figures contain exile and otherness within themselves. Exploring notions of the cyborg and the prosthetic, these figures will stand between human and post-human, and will exist between a biotechnological medical body and the sexualized body, the fashion industry and anime.
