Abstract
I witness the unsettling and chaotic moments of everyday life:
blood clots in fried eggs, a dead rat on my porch, mites crawling on our skin . . .
These quiet tragedies exist with almost brutal indifference!
We eat, digest, excrete. We menstruate. We parasitize. We coexist.
I seek the intersection of repulsion and wonder in my daily experience and body sensations, visualizing unseen stimuli. I employ veil as a strategy. It conceals yet reveals. Sometimes, it acts as a transparent layer, sharpening what lies beneath. Other times, it blurs colors and forms, rendering them ambiguous. Veil transforms, entices, and allures with its innate charm, and ultimately, it forces confrontation with discomfort.
