This four-part series brings together microscopic images of substances produced by the body: tooth remnants, corneal tissue, eye and ear secretions. Fragments of the body that are usually removed, overlooked, or considered taboo — and precisely in that, they contain their own form of intimacy.
The images show no face, no pose. And yet, they show me — perhaps more closely than a classical portrait ever could.
What becomes visible here is not only my body, but also a collective corporeality. The view through the microscope reveals an abstraction in which individuality dissolves — and in doing so, takes on a universal form.
An ambivalence remains between proximity and obscurity, between biological facticity and artistic construction.
Within this in-between space, a self-image emerges that resists definitiveness.
