Ghost of my Shell

Dec 23

Ghost of my shell (2024) considers the porosity of the skin sac that ostensibly separates where I end and you begin. Can we ghost our physical bodies? Can my body leak into yours? What scarring gets left behind? Do the casings we shed hold its own spirit, of which moves and dances to our histories?

This sculptural piece is a continuation to womb (2024) and leaky bodies (2024), previously exhibited this past June and July at Uncool Gallery respectively. It is an homage to Ursula K. Le Guin's The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, positing our bodies as containers that hold our beings.

Curator Katelynn Dunn writes, "The tender work taps into the desire of the artist to defy the impoverished barrier of the human body and real delineated borders to permeate into other beings. Even though technology has led to hyperconnectivity of the globe through the internet as we know it today, our human desires to connect grow even deeper than reality of virtuality allow."
