Hand-fabricated copper, nickel plated, x-ray (2013)

Statement for ‘Of A Particular Kind (Implants Series II)’:
This series comments on the highly individual and personal nature of medical surgeries and the power that medical implants have on an individual's life. Access to such surgeries is a privilege that billions worldwide do not have. Due to this disparity, people have traveled great distances and fought against great hardships to obtain medical devices or find medical solutions for a loved one, often to no avail. As such, medical implants become highly politicized, contested, and profound objects that have immeasurable material and personal value. Through hand-fabrication and aestheticization, this work explores these tensions by exposing and glorifying what is commonly left unseen.
