My work revolves around the human figure and its function as a signifier of the human identity. I see the latter through the lens of postmodern theory, as something multifaceted, fragmented and always in-flux, an outcome of a layering process. In my images I explore the ways the human body is visually misrepresented in mass media, and I aim at subverting what the viewer expects to see. The elements of human identity that are absent from the beautified versions that dominates visual culture serve as a starting point and material to produce assemblages of fragmented figures.
