Production Flaws

In my work, I explore insecurities derived from my personal physiology. I’m interested in breaking down the body into a man-made object -a piece of production that if it fails, it’s rejected- to reflect what we as a society deem as invaluable. To achieve this, I focus on the medical disruption of the body and how it affects our perception of beauty. I use contrasting textures and materials to get my point across, such as imperfections being represented with recyclable objects that are then adorned with store bought jewels. I make my anthropomorphous sculptures life size or enlarged to confront the audience of their judgement towards the unremarkable body. The need to be accepted and beautiful has plagued my life since I was conscious about my differences. When you believe with your chest that you are a monster, you will do whatever it takes to fit inside the box.
