Early in my development as a photographer, through a personal health crisis, I became fascinated by the high-tech imaging used in medical treatment. Although my work originated from a place of resilience, it has evolved into visualizing unseen systems that shape our world, encouraging dialogue around choice, trust, and collective experience. I began thinking about the unseen connections bridging humanity, technology, and the natural world.
While I Am Still combines the visual languages of art and science to create dreamlike renderings of the invisible body. I chose elements that originated as diagnostic imagery, selected for both their visual and scientific value, then I reinterpreted them using digital imaging technologies. By weaving together images of the human body with images of the natural environment, ethereal figures are revealed and concealed, suspended in states that feel both raw and vulnerable. Combining this imagery creates a tension and a simultaneous empathy for the fragility of the self. The resulting works reveal information attained from human bodies that is otherwise not visible without the aid of cutting-edge technology, transforming clinical data into a metaphor of poetic visual forms.
While I Am Still invites viewers into a psychological space shaped by vulnerability, uncertainty, and retreat. This state may refer literally to the body’s restraint during diagnostic testing, or more broadly to moments of physical or emotional upheaval. Here, the mind—wrestling with sadness, fear, and hope—withdraws into an inner refuge. Through these photographs, I want to illuminate these internal struggles and the quiet, often unseen withdrawal of the inner self.
