Body and Mind
The Body and Mind Project is centered on redirecting the mind and conversation to the holistic conception of humanity by presenting pictures of people that require viewers to study a person closely without being distracted by cultural the cultural conceptions of beauty.
The human body in its natural condition has always been a fascinating concept, because it exposes a human's physical identity at its most vulnerable state. Each part has been molded over thousands of years with meticulous and exquisite detail. The following images explore bodies of all forms. The shackles of physical appearance fades as one becomes comfortable in one’s own body, freeing the soul and therefore allowing it to transcend to a truly pure transparency. The distortions of the body can be thought of as symbols of the twisted perspective the world has come to perceive as beauty. After this realization, the viewer would then be allowed to look past those bodily distortions and focus on the true inner beauty of the soul.
People tend to draw interest in body sculptures due to the quizzical nature and odd complexity that arises when viewed from different angles. The faceless images offer the opportunity to focus particularly on the body and the emotions that are consequently evoked from the viewer. Inner beauty is just as intriguing as perceived outward beauty. I wish to raise awareness of the rising issue within the nation pertaining to body image. I aspire to embellish human form in its prevailing state.
