Embodied Columns

My work maps the relationship between the human body, architectural forms, and memory. Working primarily with Photography and print-based processes, I use my own body as both subject and site to record something already slipping into the past. I pair images of my body wih images of a classical column to think about how form carries memory, and how both architecture and the body hold onto what they have been. These images are not about presenting my body as ideal, but about acknowledging it as soft, imperfect, and shaped by experience. When placed side by side, the column and the body begin to mirror each other. Making this work is also an act of vulnerability. Using my own body means confronting ideas of exposure, self-reflection, and time. The photographs capture a version of me that will never exist again. Like ruins, they become records of something that once was.
