Presenting the body as nothing but light and shadow and as color adhered to glass; this work focuses on basic human identity, as we are our physical beings. The body is the focus. A body filled with internal organs and processes, with strengths, weaknesses, limitations, and the potential for rampant ugliness as well as profound beauty. A body, that much like a shadow on the wall, does not last forever. A particular poetry exists in how our internal components and the certainty of death unifies all of us. A poetry that is timeless as shown through the work’s reference to the rose windows of Romanesque churches.
