The project consists of 3 pieces:
1. A frame filled with natural items   - shells and dried moss/seaweed
2. A mirror - made to look like it has a flesh frame with adverts transferred and painted onto it.
3. A chair - stand-in for the body with embellishments

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested in how the body manifests or embodies its environment both social and physical. In today’s urban settings, bodies rarely encounter the natural environment which raises questions about how we are physically, chemically and neurologically impacted by existing in an “ungrounded” state. By 2050, an estimated 70% of the world’s population will live in an urban setting making this a present and relevant concern. The chair is the starting point as a stand-in for the body. The mirror represents how we are influenced by consumerism. The framed shells depict how we idolize the natural world while we distance ourselves from it. This work is to represent how our bodies, through our decisions,  interact with the world around us and are shaped by it, particularly in this work with mass-manufactured adornment. The finished works combine to be a pseudo-space vignette.
