ENTRY DESCRIPTION
‘SCENES OF CASTRATIONS & GAZES UPON CONTROL’ seeks to represent the abject in material forms using fragmented forms of the body.

Through a practice-led and material thinking approach, I seek to represent and give a material form to the abject. I am concerned with the study of experience from the perspective of the individual. More specifically, I intend to explore the abject self in a state of abjection and then create fragmented forms of body. In this project, the body becomes a symbolic and aesthetic expression of the abject. Driven by personal experience and acknowledging my desire to be castrated, the abject self in a state of abjection is the core driving force behind creative nuances and materiality.

This project uses photography and digital manipulation for all final outcomes. The materialism involved in depicting the realism of the body, entails recognising that the body is not an external static representation but is susceptible to breakdown, fragmentation, and dissolution. Consequently, the fragmented body a way to explore questions of abjection and the self.
