Our bodies are the form that carries us in the space. Our skin is the thin boundary between what’s within us and reality. Made with a steel skeleton and dressed with a spandex suit, it pierces the human form into reality. This work has a direct relationship to mental health issues, IBS, Cohn’s disease and other illness that cannot be seen. Having someone close to my heart suffer with one of these illnesses every day is heart breaking, not only for her but for me because I am not able to do anything for her. This is where the inspiration for this work came from; to make people understand how people feel every day battling their illnesses.
