Records of the flesh
Welcome to 'Records of the Flesh,' a photography project where the goal is to unravel the enigma of identity and challenge societal absurdities. We'll explore the comedy of 'desirable' traits, questioning the cost while playing both the trickster and the fooled. Oh, the tangled web of where we're from and who we are! In an effort to defy unjust societal standards that poison our authenticity with objectification, fetishization, and oversexualization, let's shake hands with our true selves amid the cacophony of distorted counterparts.
What if our identities are little more than subconscious constructs of the mind (which we go on to perform in the outside world)? What if when we pick ourselves apart, we don’t exist in the ways that we wish we do? What version of yourself are you?
The connection between where you’re from and who you are is a complicated (yet perhaps inescapable) one. Our past and our places are part of us. How is it that we can feel close to a place far away and yet, feel so distant from that same place when we are finally near?
