tin, aluminum, third hand

The twelve pieces are originated from the actual ultra-sonic picture from the artist, acquired in one of the sessions from gynecologist visit. The bodily representation was translated three times through the AI generative models, 3D sculpturing, and further brought back to the physical world by the hands of the artist.

Extracting the pain inscribed in the medical data, the artist was in search of the autonomy which compartmented and reduced amid the medical apparatus. 

The betweenness of the senses, the touches to the localizing in the body, and the vitality that communes from one to another being, is devoid as a patient is confronted with the technological innovation, which is used for analyzing, dissecting and diagnosing the body. Thus, the artist attempts to re-animate them, persisting on the creation by the machine and concurrently the human, in efforts to reclaim the meaningfulness that deposits in the continual exchange of the subject and the world.
