ABOUT
Under the Skin explores the psychological and emotional act of breaking free from within the body, from social conditioning, and from systems that suppress individuality. The work comprises a grid of sculpted forms pressing against a membrane of latex, capturing the moment before rupture a state of tension, resistance, and potential transformation.
The stretched latex becomes a second skin: both intimate and alienating. It represents the pressure to conform to aesthetic ideals, digital identities, and outdated social norms. These rounded, irregular protrusions suggest something human trying to emerge, not yet fully formed, but already refusing to remain hidden.
This piece reflects a desire to shed what no longer serves fear, toxic relationships, imposed expectations and step into an undefined, more honest self. There is discomfort in that transition, but also freedom. The materials were chosen for their contrasting qualities: the softness and flexibility of latex against the rigid structure beneath, mirroring the friction between vulnerability and control.
Under the Skin invites the viewer to sit with that ambiguity to witness a moment of becoming that is raw, unresolved, and deeply necessary.
