About The Work
"Vestige is a series of lumen prints in which my hair, saliva, blood, or breastmilk are placed directly onto silver gelatin paper. In these color-scape photograms, the female form, which is subjected to an onslaught of societal pressure and objectification, defies conventional representation, appearing as mark-making and surface disruptions on photographic paper. Transcending the figurative, these images become a collaboration between process and intention while addressing themes of identity, mortality, and the body from a uniquely female perspective.
This project is a natural extension of my work with figurative and portrait photography. Instead of a classic depiction of my body, these images reinterpret the gaze, creating a new and unrecognizable self-portrait. Physical remnants of my body become an affirmation, evidence of my existence."
