Strange Love: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Bod
(2022)
Carved paper, mixed media on wood panel

Strange Love treats the body as a site of process.

Past and present register simultaneously.

Embodiment is learned rather than assumed.

Fragments coexist without fracture.

Acceptance and resistance remain in dialogue.

Cohesion emerges through relation.
