![Tranquil[ized] Bodies: The [Post] Post-Mortem Condition, is an examination of time, space, and place of being; relating to the mindfulness of the body and mortality in the contemporary moment. This project focuses on highlighting a vital, metaphysical exercise of confrontation and contemplation with mortality through static and kinetic, interactive sculpture and installation, comprised of an industrial-organic anti-aesthetic. Creating an immersive experience with mortality as a means to awaken the stagnant body and being. This body of work investigates the human being's disengagement with life, authenticity, and meaning; through the vantage point of abject theory, embodiment, and metaphor. Outlining that the essential pathway to the refinement of the self is through perpetual interaction with mortality. This function of confrontation and contemplation draws upon my own experience with death, as a person with a permanent illness.
