As time passes, your body becomes less and less your own, injecting plastic, ingesting artificial vitamins and medicines, and submitting to technology. You are becoming more artificial, risking losing yourself entirely. 

Bright red paint cuts diagonally across the side walls, illuminated by LED lighting. Here, the body is deconstructed into simple elements: a cylinder of fabric and metal transformed into a pillar of blue light. The combination of yellow and blue light brings life to this form, inorganic and unfamiliar, creating a vision of the body as such.

This installation is a warning for future bodies, only activated by light and technology, stripped of humanity. How does one preserve and maintain an authentic body while adapting to a society rooted in artificiality and the continuous advancements of technology?
