Stomach

Physical silence, absence.

This partially realised project is an attempt to break the female body down into separate organs. The uterus, stomach and lungs are recreated from thousands of glass beads — the internal and the living become fragile, almost weightless forms. Each organ becomes still, gradually losing its function.

Working with the organs became the starting point for NANIZANO — an exploration of fragility, materiality and emptiness, and an attempt to give physical form to what is usually impossible to see or hold.
