This series represents the balance of visibility and instability. As my image grows more obscured, my personhood is removed. The idea of losing myself is one of my greatest fears, and I’m constantly reminded of how fragile my sense of self can be. To me, the loss is inevitable; just a matter of when. Through destructive techniques like devoré, I physically remove portions of myself. In a way, I’m reclaiming the fear. Instead of being at the mercy of the world around me, I get to choose when and how I am removed from my environment.
