The botanical drawings in this work do not exist to decorate the figure. They function as symbols inscribed upon a transparent surface, suggesting meanings that originate outside the individual rather than from within.
The transparent membrane becomes a space where perception, expectation, and social narratives accumulate. The figure exists in an ambiguous state between lived experience and the interpretations projected onto it. The drawn plants do not reveal the subject's inner world; instead, they represent systems of meaning through which identity is continuously read, classified, and understood.
Rather than presenting identity as something fixed or inherent, the work proposes it as an unstable process shaped by external symbols, cultural narratives, and the gaze of others. The body therefore becomes less a site of self-expression than a surface upon which meanings are endlessly written and rewritten.
