Description:

Second Skin / Burden is a photographic series emerging from a performative process. Combining performance, sculpture, and photography, the work explores the shifting relationship between the body and a sculptural form constructed from discarded lingerie, textiles, foam, and silicone.

Across six images, the body gradually merges with the object, dissolving the boundary between protection and restriction, intimacy and vulnerability. The chair functions as both support and confinement, while the layered materials retain traces of use, memory, and transformation.

Rather than documenting a performance, the photographs exist as autonomous works, capturing moments in which body and sculpture become inseparable. Second Skin / Burden reflects on the physical and emotional weight we carry, suggesting that a second skin can offer both protection and burden.
