Statement

Though my work I explore contradictions, focusing on body language and body shape. Within my research I found a study made by the U.S. government in 1940 which standardized women’s bodies, in it you can clearly see the expectations that society places on women’s appearances which starkly contradict a sense of self.

To understand human behavior is imperative to see it as a whole. In my work, I concentrate on body language and poses as my main theme of consideration. Body language gives a visual form to identity and enhances the visual aesthetics of communication, in other words, when observed, you are what you perform. One of my goals is to create images that echo the past, confront the present and embrace a future. I work in a variety of media.
