REDUCTION TO BODY

Reduction to Body is a self-portrait series journeying the loss of identity through the objectification of women by featuring only the legs of women in common domestic spaces. The intention of the upper missing body is to elicit a response of brokenness of the person who is fully depleted of true self-identity and the sense of losing oneself when women are viewed through a narrow erotic lens. The pure and innate beauty of identity is ironically eliminated and robbed by the juxtaposition of perfectly displayed yet broken body parts. The aim of this project is to create an uncomfortable space and force viewers to look at a woman in a disturbing way to recognize the objectifications women face.
