This work is part of a series about healing, pain and emotional numbing. Through self portrait, I am exploring the idea of Internal and mental wounds, and the idea of the aesthetic of the bruise. By staining and material, I create a push and pull representing the presence, and the absence of the body. With the movement and jesters of the work, I want to open the feeling and interpretation up to the viewer.
