Body as a container is a concept from my artistic practice about pain and healing.

The body is considered a container and the skin holds our organs and fluids. The skin is also one of the biggest protective organs.

The skin is a meeting place where the self connects with the world. 

The skin must be torn to meet the world. 

The skin must be touched in order to communicate, heal and exist.

​

In the container that holds our soul, what do we want inside?
