This ongoing series examines the female body as a site of expectation, endurance, and visibility.

I’m drawn to the act of taking things apart as a way of understanding how they function. In this work, the removal of flesh is not an act of violence, but a method of inquiry—an attempt to reveal the internal structures that have carried expectation, labor, and pressure.

By exposing muscular and vascular systems, I’m not stripping the figure of humanity, but returning it. What remains is not spectacle, but structure: the systems that sustained the body long before it was consumed by the public eye.
