Amorphism 1 employs distorted body photography to externalize false mental self-images constructed from emotions and social interactions. Rey recognizes his body as uncomfortable changing mass—deteriorating object dragged like alien weight. The photograph reconstructs fragmented self-perception into misshapen lump that moves and breathes, exploring inability to identify with constantly changing corporeal reality and revealing perpetual disconnect between mental construction and material existence.
 
Amorphisms explore the distorted and negative self-image, which is constructed and mutated from emotions, lived experiences and interaction with others. Assuming that these mental images are often false and altered, I am interested in examining mine. When inquiring into my perception, I recognize the body as an uncomfortable and changing mass, as an object that I inhabit and deteriorates with use, a weight that I have to drag like something alien and annoying. This project is the transition from a mental image to a concrete image and starts from a doubt: not being able to identify myself with something that is constantly changing, looking for myself and finding only a misshapen lump that moves and breathes. My starting point is photography, which allows me to explore my self-image and reconstruct it, resulting in a mass of skins that clump together in space.
