The Living Torso 2016- 2019
The Living Torso Project is a series of photographs that focus on drawing and contain the different types of body shapes and sizes in the same posture.
The figures provide both form and content for the matter of gender. The selected body is described as a torso mannequin in the state of decomposition; no arms, legs and head. This means that it is exploring the human body both inner and outer by implementing a fragmented body. Acquiring the specific posture aims to reconstruct a deficient beauty and express an ambiguous boundary as taking a juxtaposition of male/female.
