I am perpetually intrigued that how one (i) sees oneself (myself) is so unlike how anyone else does. Indeed, the very problem of perception and our inability to understand or define it precisely is a recurring theme in my work.
I have recently begun to come to terms with my own body – to understand and at times to love it. My next step has been an attempt to reconcile this relationship to its surroundings. It has been at times easy and at times difficult – not always being a matter of familiarity with the given society.
Thus it is that as my appreciation of my body deepens, my frustration with the layers that I must adorn to share myself with familiar and strange society alike escalates.
