Description ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The natural human body is the most beautiful. We are building our body by ourselves and it is mirroring who we are. If the body is going to be transformed in an unnatural way, it will be damaged. An error in the human life can trigger a progressive complication in the lifecycle. Problems can develop by themselves and reach an uncontrollable stage. Looking at the printed poster, the spectator can experience every tiny detail of the body as pure and natural as it is. On the other hand, the video work is a metaphor that draws a connection to the digital image in the information age. The digital moving image is exposing a progressive destruction, a transformation to something that we do not know and can not control.
