Amorphism 77 investigates psychological body distortion through photographic reconstruction externalizing internal perception. Rey examines how emotional experiences and social interactions construct false mental images. The work embodies search for identity within constantly changing mass—finding only misshapen lump rather than coherent form. Clumped skin mass reveals gap between mental construction and material reality, demonstrating how negative self-image distorts corporeal existence into amorphous entity resisting stable identification.

 

Amorphisms explore the distorted and negative self-image, which is constructed and mutated from emotions, lived experiences, and interactions 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 deteriorate 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.
