Vessel

Vessel is an exploration into the body's role as a physical transporter. It aims to recognise and show appreciation for the body having transported me from birth to present. With graduation looming, I was prompted to think about how far I had come and how prepared I was for the next chapter of my life. I discovered that without this shell in which my soul resides I would not be in the place I am now - physically and mentally. Without the body the soul has no outlet, no purpose. With the body comes meaning, it defines the condition of living. It felt important for me to show an understanding and recognition for the undeniable vital the body has in human life. Through exploring different locations in my life chronologically and making casts of my body as it is now, I freeze this version of myself and the growth i have achieved, doing so bringing the starting point from birth to now.
