Strange Love: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Bod
(2022)
Ashes series

Strange Love examines the relationship between body, time, and inherited experience. Fragmented gestures suggest eyes, hands, and mechanical forms, creating a surface that feels both human and cosmic. Embodiment appears as learned rather than automatic, shaped by instinct, memory, and duration. The composition reads like a negotiation: between sensation and history, self and lineage, presence and echo.

Layers of ancestry and inquiry intersect across the field. Rather than presenting the body as a fixed object, the work reflects it as a site of process. Past and present register simultaneously, as if movement across time has folded into a single plane. Fragments coexist without fracture, allowing cohesion to emerge quietly through relation.

Within AshesStrange Love turns inward. It reflects the effort of reconciling what is held physically and emotionally across time. Fragmentation is acknowledged rather than dramatized, offering a measured view of how acceptance and resistance shape one another.
