Abstract

This body of artwork entitled Entelechy: potentiality has become an actuality, consists of two interrelated series of object based sculptures addressing different facets of medicine and healing. The first series comments on modern medical science's attempts to keep the temporal body in a state of unnatural perfection. This work addresses a rejection of the human body's natural tendency to deteriorate. The second series in this body of work investigates emotional disorders that naturally arise in conjunction to physical ailments.
