body book collects and archives my semi-permanent and permanent bodily features, some of which may be considered “far from the norm”, using photography.
“...And only after 11 years of living and growing with it...I now recognize this bodily feature as something more of a companion — another identity that simply lives physically on me — in common with my other bodily features (my moles, my piercings, my eyes, etc). Inspired by this realization, I aim to acknowledge various entities living on and with me and celebrate their existence through this body of work. All photographs were taken by me, using my phone and tripod. This self-documentation process took place over four, hour-long sessions and resulted in a total of 567 photographs,” excerpt from body book.
