Bodies melt into one another, are turned inside out, resisting easy legibility and fixed definitions. These polymorphous figures are intensely contorted, elastic and attenuated. Traces of the same body parts appear more than once from different angles, as if to imply a sequence of movements, as well as the possibility of different, though concurrent, modes of existence and states of being: a fluid and dynamic multiplicity of potential selves and identities.
Darkness and light are at play with light-absorbing saturated colours, dark reverberating blues combine with effervescent pinks and yellows. Transparent light and disembodied reflectances suspend the tangle of fragmented bodies, pointing to a world askew.
